THE List.

A couple of years ago the air displays and sheer number of aircraft displaying were so large we called the show "The Big One". Well, this one's even bigger. A lot bigger AND it has more aircraft and pilots making their Old Buckenham debut than ever before. The combined horsepower/ amp hours and combined top speeds all shatter previous records.
The full list then is as follows:
The RED ARROWS, BOTH DAYS. We're not going to get bored of saying that.
Sally B - BOTH DAYS - our theme is the 50th Anniversary of the B-17 Flying Fortress displaying in the UK, the 50th year in which her operator, Elly Sallingboe, has kept an impossible miracle going. We will be going suitably overboard celebrating both icons.
Stampe Display Team, BOTH DAYS - making their debut.
The VE80 Spitfire Formation - BOTH DAYS - What's better than one Spitfire? Lots of them.
Bob Grimstead, BOTH DAYS - making his Old Buckenham Debut, Bob does things with gliders no one else can.
Team Raven, BOTH DAYS - Another debut, Team Raven will bring 6-7 of their RV8's to demonstrate formation aerobatics, but this time the aircraft are white and the speeds about half that of the Reds.
P-51 Mustang "Marinell", BOTH DAYS making a return after 10 years and in the hands of her new owner, the renowned Isobel Rutland.
Bronco Display Team BOTH DAYS, another debut, this time of one of the most interesting and versatile aircraft to grace an airshow
Aero SuperBatics. Guess what, another debut, two aircraft from the greatest wingwalking team on earth.
BBMF Lancaster SATURDAY ONLY, we think only the second time two four engined bombers have been here since WWII. Then also slot 10: BBMF Dakota, SUNDAY ONLY, a D Day veteran and one of the finest examples of, probably, the most important transport aircraft of the 20th century.
RAF Tutor, BOTH DAYS and another debut. This is the training aircraft today's fighter pilots all learn on.
F86 Sabre BOTH DAYS and, you've guessed it, a debut.
RAF Typhoon BOTH DAYS, making an unprecedented fifth appearance with us.
World War 1. BOTH DAYS, and another debut. Paul Ford in, more or less, the Red Baron's Fokker will go head to head with Clive Denney in a British SE5. Aerial combat, over a century old from two pilots who are...
Richard Goodwin Jet Pitts, BOTH DAYS. Rich stole the show last year with his absurd three engined jet and propeller driven aerobatic monster. He'll have a hard time stealing the show again, but he'll give it a try.
GI Flight - BOTH DAYS - more WWII spotter aircraft than ever before over Old Buckenham in our take on the Big Wing, at a third the speed.
Staggerwing Duo - two examples of the Golden Era's Gulfstream in formation once more.
Lee Kingman - Cassutt Racer - two debuts in one as Lee and his racing machine appear for the first time.
NEBO Air Electric Arrows - the worlds only electric aircraft display team are back.
Ready for Duty - we're the last stop on 12,000 mile epic tour commemorating VE80.
So it's probably no surprise that tickets are selling at record pace. You really don't want to miss this one.
