C-130J Tac Demo

[RedFlag]

C130-J Tac Demo gets ratified Tuesday, first show Waddo, end of June. 'Slightly Off Red' huh? Must get my eyes tested!

[Good Mickey]

Waddo should be a great display especially as the J is doing the Tac Demo, the Falcs and the static. It should be good for the J to get in the public eye so much - just wonder why these frames are not being tasked?

Did Falcs and Tac Demo in same frame in Malta in 94 or 95. Worked fine, but didn't want to advertise it too much as that would have meant even more weekends away without any time off in lieu!

Best one we did was the two-ship Tac Demo at RIAT Fairford in '94. That went down a treat, but was never allowed to happen again. Be nice to see it ressurrected by the 'J' peeps.

[sad sad sad]

Hmm, yes the J could go back to back displaying coz it's unlikely to suffer the seized engine syndrome post -ve g pushover. (Remember Biggin Hill Scroggs !!!)

HI
i saw the demo at Waddo on Sat 28 and it was nothing exciting and there did not seem to be anything new or out of the ordinary (might be as I was in the SOUTH car park and so far away to see anything special.
And talking of Waddo GET SOME BOG'S NEAR THE S/CAR PARK, I DID NOT ENJOY HAVING TO GET THE F******* BUS IF I WANTED A LEAK :: but beside that A SUPER DISPLAY.

Yes, I remember Biggin - a good night stop! Wasn't it Duxford where we shut down 3 during/after the Khe Sahn, and taxied in on one, much to the astonishment of the crowd?
