I didn't got to the show for that reason, No Tornado flying,no C17, No RAF Merlin no Harrier No role demo & not enough International flying displays, given that it's billed as an international air show.
I went friday for arrivals as i saw airframes flying that are parked on static that i would like to see displaying, F16 would have been nice also never seen a F18 displayed on it's own except for the Blue Angels, also F15 would have been nice.
I realise that a lot of military hardware is tied up with conflicts & aircrews busy but RAF Waddington clashes with a Belgium air show every year & they seem to attract a lot of great airframes.
I feel for the Waddington organisers as they do their best.
