RAF Waddington International Air Show 2009

This year's air show will celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the formation of NATO and there will be representative aircraft from all NATO Nations whether flying or in the static display. There is also hope that the Indian Air Force will return with their Mig 29's.

The Polish National Display Team -- The Orliks -- will be making a welcome return as well as the Patrouille De France. Subject to serviceability, the Vulcan and the newly restored Constellation from Holland will also be on show. On the ground, there will be themed enclosures to represent famous people or aircraft from the history of the RAF and the centre-piece will be an RAF Village featuring recruiting, operational and leisure activities. The hangar displays will be expanding with the Youth Hangar, concentrating on Science and Technology, occupying all of No 5 Hangar. No 3 Hangar will, as always, feature the main display.

There will also be over 200 trade stands, 2 craft marquees, a funfair and a classic car display. This year the Breitling Jet Team will make their Waddington debut and their first appearance in the UK. This great team, with an international reputation, is not to be missed. Flying the L-39 Albatros in a vivid blue and gold livery they are a wonderful photographic opportunity. Do not miss this rare chance of seeing one of only a few civilian jet display teams.
