It was not pathetic - huge issues for some people getting in and out but for the many people who were there, it was a good day. The airshow was never billed as an 'enthusiasts' airshow, it is an event for the general public, it is not RIAT- and also the tickets were £11 - not the £50 - £60 for RIAT. I was there, everyone around me enjoyed the flying dispalys - you cant get better than The Reds and Typhoon as general dispaly items - there was quite a bit going on on the ground and the usual airshow fairground rides - it seems to me again that people who just want to moan and have a go, latch onto any little bit of bad publicity, probably political as usual too. It is a massive shame that the organisation around the traffic management failed and with the bad publicity, I hope I am wrong, but dont think the airport will want to be associated with such bad publicity and the airshow will probably not happen again - but for the people who made it in, it was not pathetic.
