Would be great if they could book Team Viper for this years show;last year the team flew BAC Strikemasters/Jet Provests.
This year they are using FIVE HAWKER HUNTERS! DROOL 8) 8) 8) 8) 8)
Is TTF able to provide us with any info on this years AirshowTTF does provide the site with info on the show every year, as and when it can be given to the public. I'm sure he'll provide more info as it becomes available :)

. Hopefully he'll do a water landing/take off.
Brilliant news :)
If you look closely you can see an aeroplane in this picture...
Also as pointed out on Facebook the Tornado display is a two (2) ship display :)I wonder if the Tornado Role Display Team is the same ones we saw at RIAT last year?

Tennis courts at Ramore Head: Saturday 11.40am, arrival of Huey and Loach, 11.50am arrival of Royal Navy Sea King. Viewing from about 12.10pm. Same for Sunday (except no Sea King). Remember, Unique Helicopters will be running pleasure flights all weekend - a great chance to see the North Coast from the air. The ticket office will be in the West Bay exhibition area and and tickets are £30pp.
Hope its a good jet. :) (EG) F-16, Saab J105 OE, Mirage 2000, RAF Hercules (I now its not a jet lol), Gripen, Su-27, Saudi Hawk Aerobatic , Frecce Tricolori, Hawker Hunter (x5), Breitling Jet Team and this would be good Typhoon.
I think we should congratulate TTF and the rest of the people who are involved in putting this show together this year i think you all would agree that they have achieved more than anyone ever expected. This is the 10th year and it looks like it will be a fantastic event. lets hope that the weather is kind to us. A BIG THANK YOU
What about the hawk ?
Hi it seems that the Red Arrows are clear to resume flying. I hope we see them in Portrush and they get the best weather conditions to do their stuff.
What about getting an appeal going for all spectators to wear red. I think it would be superb for them to see the headlands and bay area covered in Red as a tribute to the late Jon Egging. It would also let the others know we admire their dedication, courage and skill in getting back in the air and that they are the best of the best. Eclat.
I just read a comment on that page and I'm f*#*#*# angry at the remark very negative about the airshow. Dont understand some peoples attitude. As they say some mothers do have them. :rant:
We received news late last night that the Red Arrows will not be appearing at Portrush this year. This is totally understandable at a time like this and our thoughts are with Jon Eggings wife and family and the whole team. We are working on a fitting tribute for the 3pm slot on Saturday.
dave its the portrush airshow, bad weather is always expected :( lol
hope we are wrong though and we get at least one good day this year
Approach 130.675; Display 134.550
Depending on which site you go to the current forecast is saying it'll be either:
Sunny on Saturday with light showers on Sunday
OR
Light showers on Saturday and sunny on Sunday.
::)
Er, it clearly states in the article that they are not coming to Portrush.

When Mr Smoketoomuch posted the link to the article, I think it said that they would be appearing at Portrush, obviously it has since been changed. :)
Ok, the cars packed for any weather conditions (hot thermos and spade) at the Port for the next few days. Are there any confirmed times for fast jets both days and time for the Vulcan if serviceable.

Hi, I am told that the vulcan can not afford to land in N.I. ------the bbc to-night live from portrush stated that Vulcan will display on Sat.!!!!! but the Vulcan site says Sunday! I hope it is Sunday as I am using the train to get there on Sunday to see the Vulcan at 5pm. Best wishes, Merlin Man.
Enjoy yourselves, Ringo get some good shots. I can't make it (again) wife needs the motor! ???
AERTANK
The surprise is probably that there is no surprise :P
Does any one know what time it starts at tomorrow? I assumed it began at 12 but I think I read that it started at 11 today?
IMPORTANT. Because of expected low cloud later this afternoon, times for Vulcan and f16 might be brought forward in order for them to use full ceiling height. Pilots are meeting at the moment and we will keep you informed.
Just announced that the Vulcan will be appearing around 1pm.
IMPORTANT. Latest times: Vulcan at 1.40 and f16 at 3.00. We realise that might disappoint some late arrivers but it's better than losing them
The Vulcan has to operate under VFR (Visual Flight Regulations) as part of it`s permit to fly.
Therefore it has to have the ground in sight at all times,and is not allowed to fly through cloud and is restricted to what altitude it can fly at
By the way, it looked like the F-16 gave those on the Blackrocks a great display, getting close a few times when compared to the folks on Ramore head. ;D
Dave
great air show especially the f 16 whooping display felt the ground shake on black hill could do with a few more acts like this to liven things up a bit e.g. f15 eagle or the f.a.18 hornet which are based in u.k. organizers should try to approach these people perhaps for next year .u never know.well done to the hard working organizers for another free show :)still have to find ways of bringing in funding for future shows though,what about collection boxes placed in shops throughout northern ireland as 1 way
Didn't make it to the show but my brother was and he said that the Huey pilot said that they hope to have the Cobra with them next year :)

Daft I know,but that is down to the CAA who set out the details under which the aircraft is permitted to operate.
