Some little things I noticed: Proteus and Aeres disappeared from the static list, they can't decide if a ER-2 or a U-2 is comming (maybe both?) and every video shows a Nasa F/A-18, which has not yet been confirmed.

I know the U-2 is confirmed, not sure about the ER-2 or the F/A-18. The picture on the website shows the U-2 in the NASA scheme, so maybe that’s the confusion? The ACC website has just the U-2 listed as a flyover, so I would bet on that.

They confirmed the ER-2 on facebook and it's on the "in the sky" segment of their homepage. I wasn't aware of the acc link, thank you.

Both the U2 & ER-2 on the Saturday, neither on the Sunday owning to wind.
