Portrush Airshow - Saturday 7th & Sunday 8th September 2024

Why does this forum always turn into 'well I'm not going' 'im not making the 2 hour trip'?

Do you think most visitors to the forum care?

Yes, give your opinion on the line up, but we don't need to know your travel plans, or lack thereof.

It's kind of hard to avoid reading the stuff I referred to.  I get expressing opinions at a disappointing line up - I don't need to know if you're going or not though...

I clearly said in my post:

'Yes, give your opinion on the line up, but we don't need to know your travel plans, or lack thereof.'

I have already read your post and my response,I don't need to be reminded about it's content.

I don't see what the problem is with people saying they aren't going,or what their plans are.
There really is no need for you,or anyone else to get annoyed about such trivial things.

If you want to discuss this further, then please use PM`s.

The static helicopters will not feature any from the Royal Navy, from the FDD on FB.

FDD input: we did apply for RN assets to attend the event but they were not able to support the event. You can ask for the displays/flypast but no guarantee they will be able to attend.

Weather forecast for Portrush on Saturday is good if it stays on track, Sunday not so good.

There is a planned anti war protest being held on Saturday in Portrush just before the show starts. Should be peaceful enough and small with most people ignoring them. Group seem to protest something every weekend. This weekend happens to be Portrush airshow.

Autogyro arrived in last 20mins.

I didn't catch tail number etc.

G-DISP, out of Blackpool, be excited, be very excited !

Piper PA-31-350 G-UCAM has been in the Portrush area today doing some sort of work as CWY04

[Jimi182]

BBMF PA474 is in the air.

[angry turnip]

PA474 seems to be doing some serious coast hugging,lovely evening for it.

[Jimi182]

Definitely no word of them passing BFS on the way?

Lanc could have done a wee pass over BFS instead of the coastal route they took lol heard ATC ask if they'd pass over after their stint at Portrush but it was negative, heading for Ayrshire.
