RAF Waddington Airshow

I must firstly apologise for not posting in recent weeks, I have been very busy with work.

Well airshow season is upon us! I do not get the opportunity to attend many shows but I am attending Waddington this year. I will be camping during the airshow weekend of 1-2nd July very close to RAF Coningsby and making the fairly short commute to the show on Saturday only.

Waddington has been a great show in years gone past and it is billed as the biggest show the RAF themselves organise however, looking at the list of aircraft taking part in the flying display it seems very short on foreign airforce participation particularly concerning fast jets. No F16's no mig29 or SU27 etc? and what with the RAF not displaying a Tornado F3 or Jaguar it is not looking particularly good value for money. Maybe there are other display participants that won't be confirmed till very late in which case I apologise for being to critical, I would be interested to hear what any other Waddington veterans think?

I agree, this year really does look a bit on the poor side. However I'm leaving for there in about 8 minutes time regardless - well how can you not when the weather's this nice?
