Short Tucano

PlanesTV joined Global Aviation Resource at RAF Linton-on-Ouse for a pre-season look at the RAF Tucano display for 2011.

Cotswold Air Show Commentator Andy Pawsey introduces PlanesTV's highlights from the the 2010 show.

We feature Brendan O'Brien with his crazy flying; something just not to be missed. For the home team Mark Greenfield of Ultimate High takes us through his display in the Extra 300.

We get up close with the Venom and Classic Flights Display Pilot John Beattie and Engineer Paul Sergeant.

Finally at the historic home of the Red Arrows we talk to Sqn Ldr Graeme Bagnall and Flt Lt Simon Rea about the 2010 display.

The 2010 Abingdon Air and Country show was up against some pretty unfavourable weather conditions and a last minute restriction on the use of the runway for fixed wing aircraft meant aircraft had to operate from surrounding airfields. Despite this the event's first foreign military participation from the RNLAF F-16 and debut 2010 displays from the RAF Hawk, Tucano and Tutor helped deliver an entertaining day for those who braved the wind and rain.
