With the Tornado they are going to be doing a simulated bombing run. Thought i'd give it a mention http://www.airshow.co.uk/ (sites down at time of posting but was working earlier this week)

Forgot to mention but this year they are letting people on the large aircraft. Something they have not done for a while. Ive not been since I was about 12, so exact flying displays I cant remember, except the Vulcan, I got to see the Vulcan I do somewhat remember a hunter and buckaneer doing a simulated dogfight one year as well. Odd enough I saw a formation flypast today over my house with aircraft with full landing lights on. What was odd though, they appeared to be prop based trainer aircraft. 4 in a dimond formation.

What airshow's near you
