Okay guys the wait is over. The announcement tomorrow will be that TTF and the rest of them organising committee have secured the Belgian Airforce Solo F-16 display

One day or both days is still being worked out but having seen it at RIAT this year you are in for a treat.

As I have said TTF will be making an announcement tomorrow but has been kind enough to allow me to release the info to the site today. In return he asks that you keep it to yourselves until he has made the announcement. So please do not post on other sites or Facebook.

thats amazing news, cheers for the info, will keep it on this site
thanks again

Thanks Tony. TTF has supplied this site with alot of info about the show over the years, sometimes well before the general public, and I wouldn't want to break his trust now.

Now that we know that it's a F-16 does anyone know if there has been any on display (flying) before in Northern Ireland. I think they have been in to Aldergrove for open days and family days but has any been on public display?

Tango Tango Fanta · « **Reply #83 on:** August 11, 2011, 12:04:02 AM »

Yes that's the line-up complete (unless we go to 3 days!). Still space for Irish Air Corps if available.

ToNY89 · « **Reply #84 on:** August 11, 2011, 12:05:56 AM »

Dave · « **Reply #86 on:** August 11, 2011, 12:15:08 AM »

Excuse my ignorance but can someone link me to the facebook page for the Portrush Airshow this year? Any time I search for it on facebook, I only find the page for the NI Airshow 2010.

And TTF, I think you're too kind too this forum.

Always giving us information first which sadly gets leaked by other members, or non members who can still read the site. $:-\$

Portrush this year is looking particularly good, I'm looking forward to going.

Ace, cheers Tony!

An F-16 excellent, I hope it will be a far more spirited display than the lack luster show by two USAF F-16s in Salthill a few years ago! Two years ago, in June I believe, I saw four Norwegian F-16s at Aldergrove! I've no idea what they were doing there but I suspect it was a transit stop!

the belgian f16 display at riat was very good, in fact i enjoyed all the f16 displays at riat this year

Causeway74 · « **Reply #91 on:** August 11, 2011, 08:42:20 AM »

That would be a very good addition to the airshow. Sounds like a good line-up for a change in terms of fast and loud stuff.

Causeway74 · « **Reply #92 on:** August 11, 2011, 10:09:07 AM »

Now confirmed on Twitter - great work chaps!

So does that mean it will landed at aldergrove and stay over night.

String · « **Reply #98 on:** August 11, 2011, 02:45:53 PM »

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
