Update: Royal Air Force Centenary Celebration
April 12-19, Washington, D.C.
At the request of the British Embassy, B-25 "Grumpy" will depart Paine Field for Manassas, Virginia on April 12th to participate in American recognition of the RAF Centenary. A large assemblage of airworthy RAF-flown aircraft will base there for formation practice on April 14th. These include the Stearman, Bulldog, Chipmunk, piston Provost, Spitfire, Mustang, Hurricane, jet Provost, Mitchell and Lancaster. The Udvar Hazy Center of the National Air and Space Museum will host these aircraft during an all-day RAF 100 program on April 15th. Joining the RAF fleet at Dulles will be an F-35 and P-8 representing the modern era. On the 16th, the RAF 100 fleet will divide into four formations for passes over the U.S. Air Force Memorial, that day dedicated to the RAF for its ceremonies. Finally, on April 17th, the grand finale will be staged at the National Air and Space Museum on the Capitol Mall. Interested?
