hey Angry, what's your name, and where pricice do you live? For me it's 10 minutes biking too, well 06. I live in de Hasseler es, Hengelo. When is Sanicole, by the way? Maybe i'll be there, but i do'nt know for shure, it costs a lot to go everywhere. But can't you guy's from the A-10 Demo go to Eggebeck? That is going to be a whonderful day, if all the participants will come. Example: Australian F-111, US F-117 -B-52 -C-5, German and Hongarian Mig-29's, quite some Suchoi's, Turkish marine casa 235, Greek RF-4E and A-7(!), and i can go on and on, a very impressive list, but notice that a lot of these are not yet convirmed. Let's hope so. Also, there is an A-10 listed, but it's not known (yet) if it's for the flight ore static.
Anyway, to make a long story even longer,
There are 7 display teams that are expected to come at Twente, june 20th and 21th.
Red Arrows
Frecce Tricolore
Patrouille Suisse
Patrouille de France
Patrouille Aguilla
Raffin mike
Seagull formation
(the last is a historical team of four propellor Piaccio P-149's)
And, if you count the KLu historical flight whith it, it 'll make 8 teams.

well,
thats it for now,

Theres' not been a proper Hog demo in the UK since 1991, we have had to make do with the odd flyby but no actual 8 minute workout.
Hate to be negative, but I'm not too hopeful about RIAT '03, the 23rd were scheduled to appear at Mildenhall in 2000 but that fell through, and as ghorse said they were due at RIAT last year but there were no SP jets to be had.
Time to get the prayer mat out methinks

NOOOOO don't say that!! got to make it to RIAT!!!!!! i've not seen a hog in the flesh since 1990 @ Christchurch International Airport.. never forget that tho' watched as they took off - was doing the ol' punching the air thang, 1 of the pilots must have seen me as he did a circuit and came back round for a second pass, gave me a thumbs up <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle> that made my year <img src=icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Birdman, the name is Brian and i live in Groot driene. you really expect "Australian F-111, US F-117 -B-52 -C-5, " to come to Eggebeck?? i would'nt bet to much on it.. i dont want to bring you down but dont get your hopes up. anyway just stay tuned into the website of eggebeck and look at the confirmed section. (though it still isn't shure they'll come eventhough they are confirmed).

Thanks!

Don't wanna nag or something... but yesterday 2 Spangdahlem Hogs arrived for the Twenthe open door. Why can the USAFE sent the aircraft, but WONT let the East coast demo team fly on them? seems so unlogical to me... too bad, now there in the static display. (81-0991 and 81-0963 both coded SP)

Too bad guys, i really wanted to see you guys getting everything out of that hog!!

Grtz Angry

I am pretty shocked! It was my understanding that Spang was not going to support the Twenthe show. That is why we, (A-10 East) did not do that show? Well at least they are going to let us use their birds at the RIAT in Fairford in a couple of weeks.
