Final flypast for the Firebirds from singlepilot.net - As noted previously, the arrival of the Eurofighter at RAF Leuchars marks changes at the base, as one chapter of its story closes, and another begins. RAF Leuchars 56 (Reserve) Squadron first formed in 1916, and marked 90 years as a fighter squadron in 2006, meaning that it had served in both World Wars, together with the Cold War, and its more recent duties. Nine Tornado aircraft from the squadron took part in a final flypast across Scotland, prior to its impending disbandment. From RAF Leuchars, the aircraft flew in a diamond formation, taking in the Forth Road, and Forth Rail bridges, on to Edinburgh and past the former Royal Yacht Britannia (now berthed at Leith), onward to Perth, Dundee and Aberdeen, then over RAF Lossiemouth and and RAF Kinloss, after which the returned to their base for one last flyover. Pictured from the past is a Tornado GR1 at Leuchars.

Paul Glenshaw’s excellent article about the Wright exhibition team in the May Air & Space makes the same connection with air shows nationally that our upcoming book about the Dayton Air Show does locally. I just updated our website, DaytonAirShowBook.com, with a blog about the article, including many links to Air &Space, Glenshaw, Dayton-area aviation heritage sites — and the Dayton Air Show, of course. It includes a new sample page spread from the book.
