Many thanks for the extra info.

Did anyone manage to log the flying F-18's on Sunday too?
Thanks in advance

[Freeman Lowell]

On Saturday, the Vinka visible in the far LHD of the hangar, before the flying Vinkas were put away, had a code ending in '0' (from photo). Is there any other option than VN-10 for this airframe?

HN-407 and HN-443 arrived on Friday afternoon and left a few hours later
HH-6 was doing the rehearsal on Friday

[Blackbird 1313]

Hi Freeman.
Other possibles are VN-20 and VN-30.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
Cheers.

Hi Terry,
Thanks for the reply. Yes, they would certainly have been possibilities if they had not been still outside the hangar, having just flown. I'm looking for confirmation of the one inside the hangar whilst VN-20 & VN-30 were outside.

Photo evidence of the Hawk listed as HW-375 shows it is indeed HW-376.

[Hans van Herk]

Grob G115 GO-27 is one of the older models (G-Bxxx series) as it has one antenna on its aft fuselage.

Hans van Herk

Did anyone get the PC12 that took off on the Saturday @08:10?

Thanks,
Tim.

[EvD]

Great effort guys, thanks!

Some minor additions:

SF-36 OH-SFA was also on the nearby flightline Saturday morning

OH-HVN c/n 14759
NH-205 c/n 1044
169215 c/n G/148 on strut

Also, the Viima, is that confirmed as VI-15?
Over at the museum there was a leaflet for the restoration of Myrsky II MY-14. So that may have been the one at the airshow.

The Viima id was taken from a piece of paper taped to the frame.
