Jersey International Air Display '07
« on: August 27, 2007, 12:04:52 am »
Is anybody here attending the Jersey International Air Display on Sept 13th '07?

As it happens I will be in Jersey for a few days and will take in this show as part of my trip.

Looks to have an excellent line up! 'pilot_cool'

Well guys, just back from Jersey today, and got to view the (free) air display in full Thursday .

Quite an impressive display it was too! -

Tornado
Grob Tutors
Hawk
Tucano
Hawker Nimrod II (bipane)
Dakota
Spitfire
Hurricane v Messerschmitt Bf109 'dogfight'
Junkers JU-52
Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
B-25 Mitchell
A-26 Invader
P-51 Mustang
T-28 Fennec
Gloster Meteor
Vampire
J-29 Tunnan
F-86 Sabre (flew alongside Meteor, then solo)
OV-10 Bronco (alongside T-28 Fennec, then solo)
Dragon Rapide (landed and took off from the beach ....as in the old days in Jersey before the airport was established)
Douglas DC-6
AN-2 Colt
Islander
Trislander
Jetstream
A320
Lynx (Army Air Corps 'Blue Eagles' display team)
Gazelle
Chinook (static)
AB412 (static. Royal Netherlands Air Force)

....and last but not least - the Red Arrows....
who put on an impressive display as would be expected.

This display used to be known as the 'Battle of Britian' air display, but has now been changed to 'Jersey International Air Display'.

There was also a display of WWII military vehicles, a BA recruitment/PR stand, an RAF PR stand, etc etc.

All in all a good day out for any aviation fan!
