The last day of
arrivals and rehearsals before the show days produced
some dramatic action. The last few arrivals have
tricked in throughout the day including the RAF's
first Harrier GR9 and the Spanish Citation. Most
of the RAF's fast jet participation arrived too
for the static and flying displays. We also saw
repeat rehearsals from the USAF F-16CJ, Dutch AH-64D
and French Mirages. Also all of the RAF fast jets
and other display teams rehearsed. But it was Typhoon
which proved to be the major talking point. During
his rehearsal during a vector rolls it appeared
that the aircraft lost too much height with little
height over the runway. The pilot clearly aware
of the problem climbed to height to check over his
aircraft and burn off excess fuel. It's far to early
to speculate about possible causes. Later
on, he went up performing a revised display without
incident and he should be seen tomorrow.
