Current Airshow Calendar

In 2009, there was disappointment at the RAF Waddington International Air Show after the Vulcan was unable to display because the 'Permit to fly' had expired and it remained on static display only.

The Royal International Air Tattoo returned this year and with the theme of 'Sea Search '09' had a flypast of many of the Royal Navy's helicopters as well as RN Jetstreams, RN Harriers, RNHF Chipmunk, Sea Vixen, and the French Rafale put on a display. The Nimrod MRA4 did a flypast and the Vulcan displayed and taxied up the runway along with a Boeing B-52 Stratofortress. The French Rafale also displayed at the RNAS Yeovilton Air Day.

Duxford's Flying legends air show included a flying display by the Focke Wolf FW-190A-8/N, 'F-AZZJ', which is owned by Christophe Jacquard and which made its maiden flight on May 7, 2009 at Dijon-Darois airfield in France.
