Officially it is forbidden, but they tolerate them as long as you are transitting to another country and batteries are removed during the stretch through Germany.
Your CH-47F would also fit nicely in the static display at Fairford . Hope they will contact you yet. It's not impossible indeed! And if not, then maybe next year. i'm looking forward to Geilenkirchen now. Thank you for your support!

keep in mind we have other commitments as well, more of the operational type, so we may not always be available. Trust me, I would love to be the guy on airshow duty. I got lucky with Geilenkirchen
At this point it is unknown whether the US CH-47F will arrive on Thursday the 29th or Friday the 30th. Personally I am hoping on Thursday so I can spend the day Friday catching all of the other arrivals! I will do my best to update.
What can I expect of the spotter facilities on Friday.
As I remember of last time the spotters stood far of the runway and taxiing planes often did not pass the spotters as they took a shorter way to the static.
Can somebody give some info?
I am considering to visit the Airshow, as I understand no Flying activities at all.
How about the static is it even possible to make decent pictures? Looking at previous events at Geilenkirchen it looks difficult making decent pictures. Anyone?

) had no flying activities at all during the weekend, so no departures on sunday either.
