Pity it isn't on the flying list for the weekend. Would be good to see. Also hope Beoing keep it for the weekend, they have a habit of packing up before the public arrive.

Hoping for good weather on Saturday, the forcast isn't looking too bad for a day at the show.

No such luck. Apparently it's heading back to the States on the 20th

Bestards, that is only the 2nd day of the show! May as well have kept it in the US. Would have been good to actually see in the flesh.

Oh well will have to make do with another display of the A380. Airbus put on a pretty good flight demo.

Make sure you search on Youtube for the 787 departure with 2x Spitfire escorts. The 787 then climbs out of the formation ala "missing man" formation. Very nice.
