CH47, Vulcan, Lightning, RAF C130 (Circa late 90's), RNZAF 757, RNLAF AH64 and F16 combo, F15, F22, BBMF, GR4, SU27, Mil-35M and the FAF aerobatic team (who's name escapes me).

From the civil side the the AV8ors always give a good display and provide very good value for money.

For warbird value, I'd recommend:

Some really great ideas there folks, including some I hadn't even thought of. I'd be particularly keen on some European Air Forces, Rafale, F16 etc. and would have loved some USAF participation.

One thing I'd quite like to pull off is a UAV flypast/ touch and go. Bit ambitious, but not been done before AFAIK.

If anyone has any Euro contacts please let me know.

NASA still flies at least two of them. But they are the big wing and re-engined WB-57F variety, so maybe not what you had in mind?

"From the civil side...." Sorry to say, A&C, the vast majority of types wish-listed here only exist on the civil side now.

Can you tell us some more about the show?
Where -Isle of Man? Ronaldsway? Jurby?

Money is always a factor so the more free/ minimal cost you can get the better.

Attracting participants to an interesting venue that they have not been to (tick in a box stuff) works.

BAe just across the water could fit the bill.

1956 (60 years) was first flight of Mig 21.

Also find out foreign air force visits such as ACMI or other exercises during or in a day or so of your show.

September is a good month for exercise visitors and is also the BofB month.

See the importance of theme?

I'd pay good money to see this fly

especially if you have no experience of organising an air show.

There's a lot more to it than meets the eye.
