Airshow Rule One - Static Displays only. Flying disrupts the Social Life.

Rule Two - Prime any US or Canadian Airshows that you are in their vicinity at the time, and to ask the MOD Participation Committee if they have any RAF aircraft in the vicinity that can participate.

Rule Three - Arrive on the Thursday before a weekend Airshow. This is so that your big jet came be parked early to faclitate the parking of the little jets that arrive on the Friday. Likewise do not depart until the Tuesday so it is easy for the airshow organisers to clear the little jets away on the Monday. Also allows you first choice of the associated parties, as well as more of them.

Rule Four - It is essential to have ground power for the show "for safety reasons" also handy to power the fridge and HiFi.

Rule Five - Beware of inviting such as A10 pilots on board ( bearing in mind Teeteringheads post#23)

Rule Six - Whatever happens at the airshow stays at the Airshow!!
