The Annual International Classic Aircraft Fly-in held at Breighton on 23rd and 24th July 2005. Highlights included a display by Mustangs Susy, Janie and Big Beautiful Doll. The resident Hurricane also put on a fine display. There were re-enactors, flour bombing and lots more aircraft. A finale flypast by many of the aircraft including 2 chipmunks ended Saturday on a high note.

The weekend of 21st/22nd August was the date of the 2004 Yorkshire Airshow

Sunday 18th September started off sunny with a gentle breeze. Later on heavy showers could be seen in the distance but for the most part the sun shone for the Helicopter Fly-In. An RAF Merlin helicopter did a flypast but I arrived after that but in time to see a Bell 47 and the new Robinson R66. A collection was made for the Yorkshire Air ambulance that raised over £700 for this worthy cause.

Lots of sun and very little wind combined to make the 2004 Yorkshire Air Spectacular one of the best held. Rufforth airfield near York was the venue for this annual large model airshow on 14th and 15th of August. The B52 (sadly lost in a crash at the Nationals held a few weeks later) and Comet airliner put on a superb show.

Sunday 2nd June was the date for the Jolly June Jaunt (incorporating Annie's Way Charity fly-in). The weather was kind with sunshine and blue sky encouraging many pilots to visit with many different types of aircraft. One of the highlights was a Slepcev 'Storch', a 7/10 scale replica of the WWII Luftwaffe spotter aircraft.
