Scramble Messageboard

Ian Allan stated in their tour itinerary that there will be a two day airshow at Zhukovsky Airfield, and 28 aerobatic teams from around the world have been invited. However, I also emailed Aeroprints a couple of weeks ago to get some details about their tour, and I had a reply back saying that there...

Well the Slovak Hinds they've got down as 'invited' have been retired so perhaps a sign of the list being outdated?

Wouldn't mind the Chinese J-10 though!

I presume the participants list on the website is still showing 2009's list, as the RAF Hawk and Swiss participation will not be at Batajnica this year, but they are showing on the site's aircraft list...

All wonderful pictures!

Just wondering, what did the German Typhoon do? Did it do a full display or a couple of flypasts?

It's a Mig-29 from Poland.

As in, I would love it if you could get the Slovak MiG 29 demo as well as the Polish one!

Slovak MiG 29 please!

Might have left this a bit late, but can anyone recommend or point me in the right direction of a hotel or guesthouse that is either in Leeuwarden itself or near the airbase, and still have vacancies for two people?

Thanks!

They're fantastic additions! Really pleased about the Italians and the Polish!

Agreed that it would be nice to see the Slovak MiG demo! Perhaps the RAF could be persuaded to bring their Tornado GR4 Role Demo too?

Does anyone know more about the Finnish F-18 or the Polish AF that were 'rumoured' to be attending? It looks as if the website is very rarely updated, and I don't think it's been updated since early last month! Also, what are the chances of the Open Dagen getting the Czechs, as the Gripen, ALCA and ...

Sweden and Romania have been taken off the list!

Dynamic Italian C-27J, Czech Mi35 and static Czech Hip have cancelled!

EDIT: C-27J is back on and another BBMF Spitfire has been added!

So the lineup looks like the following: FLYING Bialo Czerwone Iskry Team Orlik 6x MiG 29, 6x F-16, 6x SW-4, C-130, CN-295, M-28 Flypast MiG 29 x2 and F-16 x2 'Dogfight' MiG 29 Solo Sukhoi Su22M4 Fitter x2 W-3 Sokol Mil Mi-24D Hind Czech Aero L-159A ALCA Czech Mil Mi35 Hind Czech JAS39C Gripen Sweden...

Hmm, sorry if I come across as a bit 'ungrateful' here but for a show that's celebrating 100 years of the Turkish Air Force, is the line up that good currently? Sure they have the Pakistan AF, Slovak MiG 29, USAF Thunderbirds, Italian solos and Romanian IAR 99s but notable participants are still mis...

Some shots from yesterdays action at the IWM, Duxford. It was a very windy day which caused the BBMF to cancel, but stars of the show for me were the returns of the Hawk 75 and P-40B as well as the OFMC duo (which will be seen at RIAT) and the Hurricane and Buchon. Hope you like! http://farm6.static...

What makes you so sure?

Fair enough if it was internet forums or simple rumours, but they're actually listed on the airshow website.

Would love to see an Airfield Attack demonstration with F-16s used as 'friends' and T-38s/NF-5s used as the 'enemy' with F-4s showing ground attack capabilities! Can also include the UH-1Ds and Cougars the TAF have! As for other participants, it's been nearly 2 weeks since the last additions were ad...
