It took place on the first weekend in July, attracting over 140,000 visitors and representatives of air forces from all round the world.

The main purpose of the show was to raise public awareness and understanding of the Royal Air Force, and its role today.

Displays included the Red Arrows, Team Viper, Belgian F-16 solo, Avro Vulcan XH558 and the Royal Jordanian Falcons as well as many others.

The airshow also commemorated 70yrs since the historic and daring raids on the German dams of WWII, the 100th Anniversary of RAF Waddington's own 5(AC) Squadron and looked into the secretive world of ISTAR.

The show featured the only display in the UK by the Turkish Air Forces Solo Türk F-16 demo[2] as well as participation from the Netherlands,[3] Belgium,[4] Poland, France, Italy, Jordan, Czech Republic and many more.

Crowds in excess of 135,000 flocked to the base over the two days of the show helping to generate a sum of £260,000 which was in turn donated to Service and local charities.
