Slartibartfast Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Darn, the nearest visit is a five-hour drive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine Posted February 25, 2017 Author Share Posted February 25, 2017 Worth it. You can also wait another 30 years for a third try (PAF's last pond crossing was in 1986 IIRC). ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
caudleryan Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 I'll get to see them when they come to the Maxwell airshow in April. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Djack Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) I'm excited to see them in Kansas City, along with their A400M as well. I've read that it's to commemorate the U.S.'s entrance into WWI, and since KC has the only WWI U.S. national Monument...that's why they chose our city. Never thought anything like this team would ever be here. Very exciting! David Edited March 1, 2017 by Djack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Crossing had just started, they're bound for Scotland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scotthldr Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 (edited) Well they're on their way over to you. They night stopped at my local RAF Lossiemouth last night and are due out to Keflavik this afternoon. Supporting the PDF is an A400M and a TBM 930. Surprisingly they are only travelling with ten AJ's meaning only one spare. they must have faith in their jets. Edit: there maybe a Transall with them as well, as one has just flown up the West coast of Scotland heading to Kef. Edit: there is no TBM930 with them, I was given duff info, it's actually a French Navy Falcon 50, don't know if will go as far as Canada or will turn back once the PdF cross all the open stretches of water.

scotthldr Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 Doubt it as they are still at Lossiemouth I believe, waiting for the weather at Kef to clear. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Can't find a video of the departure... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted March 18, 2017 Share Posted March 18, 2017 For those like me who can't read the fine print in the map image, here is a link to show dates & locations. Sadly the Dallas appearance is just a flyby, no dedicated airshow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine Posted March 18, 2017 Author Share Posted March 18, 2017 Thanks, I've just added the schedule to my first post. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
falcon20driver Posted March 19, 2017 Share Posted March 19, 2017 I'm sad they aren't flying a show here in Dallas, but my job has me right by their flyby location so I can watch it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine Posted March 19, 2017 Author Share Posted March 19, 2017 Here's the link to the leader's FB page. They were stuck at Lossie due to weather, and they only left for Iceland a couple of hours ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
