The Yorkshire Airshow 2005 was held at Elvington near York on the weekend of 20/21 August 2005. Both days benefitted from bright sunshine with most of Sunday having cloudless skies. The theme of the show was "Military Might" and the armed forces provided most of the displays. On both days the flying display was opened by the RAF Falcons parachute team who dropped into the show from their C130 Hercules which then performed a flypast. An amazing and much waited for sight was the Eurofighter Typhoon which put on a superb display. Other participants included a Tornado GR4 of XV squadron, the Red Arrows and the wonderful Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Spitfire, Hurricane & Lancaster.

Sunday 6th May 2007 was the date for Breighton's Vintage Piper Fly-in and At Home Day. Grey skies and a cool wind kept vistor numbers down but there was an interesting selection of Pipers together with some aerobatic types. The resident P-51D Mustang "Susy" flew and the Harvard sitting in the hanger without wings promised more thrills for future events. Late afternoon the sun put in an appearance for the end of what had been an enjoyable day - it takes more than poor weather to spoil the atmosphere at Breighton.

Breighton - Radial Engine Fly-in and RAC "At Home" Day. A very wet day with grey skies and almost constant drizzle. The Mustang was due to depart to an airshow but due to the weather stayed at home and put on an excellent display with the Hurricane.

The Yorkshire Air Spectacular 2005 Giant Model Rally at the Ouse Gliding Club - Rufforth near York. Held over the weekend of 13/14th August. The weather was very poor on the Saturday with ever shortening dry spells giving way to heavy showers. Thanks to the enthusiasm of the participants there was still lots of flying and special mention must go to Colin Hammond who kept the cheerful and informative commentary going through a very wet afternoon.

The April Fly-in was well attended with lots of visiting aircraft. There was a clear blue sky over much of the surrounding area but unfortunately Breighton suffered from a hazy background which is not the best for aircraft photos. Still the calm conditions were very welcome.
