There seem to be fewer each year, but I honestly think it's more situational. I don't have a radio to hear if the crews are requesting to flyby after takeoff, but it seems to me that if there's anything in que to take-off or land then either no request is made, or no request is granted by the tower.Frenetic Enigma wrote: ↑Wed Aug 16, 2017 7:32 pm Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think only the Hawk made a pass - judging from videos I've seen, perhaps the departure passes are a thing of the past.
This year the Hawk took off when little activity was going on, while most of the other aircraft took-off when there was a que for departure. There was also more civilian departures this year than any other Monday I've been too.
