Highlights from the Midlands Air Festival, the first major airshow of the UK season. Headlined by the Red Arrows, it was the first chance to see their new 7-ship display routine. Rarities in the flying programme included the Vampire T.11, OV-10B Bronco and Lancaster B.1, while formation aerobatics came from Midlands Air Festival favourites Tiger 9, Team Raven and Strikemaster Display UK. The RAF Falcons were another star of the show, and we also take a quick look at the Nightfire pyrotechnic air displays.
BONUS CONTENT: Christophe Simon's display with the wonderful-but-copyrighted soundscape that is M83's Oblivion. Watch it here: • Christophe Simon CAP-1...
AN APOLOGY: a dust spot inside the camera lens is unfortunately visible throughout much of this programme; this was rectified before my next show. I also apologise for the opening piece-to-camera being out of focus, it's not easy to get that right on my own!

Shame about this years Red’s display, but still better than nothing. I feel for the rest of the team who want to put on the full display still. Great video 👍👍

Do we bring our own chairs/mats? How far is car park from displays?

@ThisisFlight Жыл бұрын

Yes, most people bring their own chairs. It depends which car park you have selected when booking tickets. I suggest checking the FAQs page on their website.

Do they have completely different line ups for both days or similar displays?

@ThisisFlight Жыл бұрын

They can be quite different. Firstly, Friday is a half day that runs into the evening with some dusk pyro displays. The organisers aim to make the daytime shows on Saturday and Sunday identical, but they have little control over which days the military acts show up, and a shortage of military displays on one day means some high-quality civilian acts are brought in for that day only, to help balance things out. Last year every day had a virtually identical flying line up. This time around, the Typhoon, Lancaster and Red Arrows will display on Friday and Saturday only. That means the number of civilian displays will ramp up a little each day, culminating with some of the most interesting ones (likely some rare classic jets) flying on Sunday only to make up for the RAF's absence.

@This is Flight Damn it, we're down with 4 of our balloons but I will be missing Saturday due to having to be elsewhere.

If you're there Friday and Sunday, then weather permitting, you ought to see everything - RAF assets and night shows on the Friday, and the full civilian line up on the Sunday.
