RAF Waddington air show scrapped

The Royal Air Force has decided to stop organizing the RAF Waddington air show due to ‘increased security concerns.’

Future shows could be held at RAF Scampton instead. Chances of having an air show back at RAF Waddington won’t likely happen until 2017.

The base is home to RAF’s MQ-9 squadron where they control the aircraft remotely. Four people broke into the base in January after cutting thru the security fence.
