Upper Heyford Airshow
Upper Heyford was always a favourite of mine. Be it the Airshow or an operational day it was always worth the trip. I remember spending many hours on the approach watching the F111s. I was there the morning after the Libyan raids of El Dorado Canyon in April 1986. The airshows I attended always had that Cold War atmosphere about them with aircraft to match. It was a sad day when the USAF left but a trip in November 2010 with ARG showed that the airfield was all but intact. Lets hope it stays that way.
