That`s the end of it for sure, aw well.
So another three years.... yep, definitely the end of it. I know it didn't please everyone, especially the aviation enthusiasts, but, it was something.
What's next for airshows in NI? I can't see Newcastle coming back anytime soon as well.
It's kinda hard to see where airshows are going to go generally. Outside of the biggies they've been in decline for decades and even RIAT is increasingly upselling the "ground attractions" these days.
Various European forces are supposed to be upping their equipment/manning levels over the next few years, maybe that'll bring back recruitment drives and "in the public eye" operations.
Looks like the Reds are spending most of the summer in America.
Won't be available for what would have been Portrush in June and now looks like they are missing every UK show up until August at earliest as it seems they will be at Oshkosh.
One of the options was to share displays with Prestwick, now Portrush not going ahead, wait and see Prestwick pulling out something great like a F18 and Frecce Tricolori with an RAF F35 demo and Portrush missing out.
