Blue Eagles displaying in 2004?

Has anyone heard if the British Army Air Corps will be displaying on the UK Air show circuit in 2004?

I have not seen any updates so far to say that they will be displaying - on their own website or anywhere else.

I understand that with current operational commitments, there is every chance that they will be too busy. It would be a shame to miss them from the UK Air show scene!

Visit http://www.blueeagles.co.uk for information and some fantastic pictures of their excellent performances!

I know the pair that are flying the Lynx this season and they are in training now. So yes they are back and ready for the stomach churning back flip!

Potcivvy, there's nothing stomach churning about the backflip - it's the best fun you can have in a helicopter with your clothes on!

Thanks for the reply potcivvy. Apart from what you have said, I have only seen one update to suggest that the team will be displaying at Waddington in June.
Does anyone know if the Blue Eagles will be displaying at RIAT Fairford this year? There has been no update to their website.

I have also seen suggestions that there will be a solo display at some UK airshows by an Army Air Corps Westland WAH-64D Apache AH.1. Does anyone know if this will be performing at RIAT?

Thanks

I know that one of the Global Eagle team has left to join the Blue Eagles, so I guess there will be program for the season.

Suggest you keep looking on their website and wait for the updates.
