Blame
it on the Weather Man!!!
Thanks
to the wonders of digital technology, Flightline
UK brings you (or should that be intends !!! - it's
only the first day!!)) daily illustrated highlights
from the UK's biggest airshow of 2003. We will issue an
edition for Wednesday, Thursday, and maybe Friday
if we can secure access to our servers!

Well, what a week!
First we cooked in 37C and now we get drenched!
Still, today has been outstanding arrivals wise
with pretty much all the star items appearing. The
weather has affected things and we're not sure if
the 100 Years of Flight theme has been completely
finished as many of the historic types have been
weathered in around the country. Some types will
arrive tomorrow around the flying display for the
Schools and Air Cadets. Highlights today have been
the arrivals of the Mirage
IVP, Mirage IIIRS, Rafale Ms, Typhoon, DC-2, and
more Tornados than have appeared at any other show.
Most of the German examples are in special schemes.
Certainly, RIAT's intention of bringing in more
specially painted aircraft has worked very well
with even an MB339 in a striking red paint scheme.
Instead of providing a run down of arrivals, I have
included the weekends flying programme as I'm sure
that will be more useful to you. The good news is
that the A-10A display is quite good once
he gets going and that the programme says we have
a pairs routine from the EF-18A Hornets!
