Fly!
Ladies and gentlemen,
Wearing my other hat (well, my business has to fund my flying!) ) I attend trade shows regularly and know whats involved.
I went today (Sun) with freebie tickets courtesy of my dear friends Mistral Aviation ( I promise to buy a new DR400 in 06!)
Hats off to the organisers. A bold decision indeed and a logistical nightmare.
The hall was packed with aircraft that had to be dismantled, roaded, rigged and - when you just want to have a beer - you have to do the whole thing again in reverse.
I came away with a very positive feeling about this show. I talked to the exhibitors and didn't find one without a smile or something positive to say.
Tudor Owens seminar was a knockout - respect to you M'lud and please defend me if ever I am in the siera hotel one tango.
All in all a great day out and congratulations to organisers and exhibitors alike for having the b@lls to pitch in on the first show.
Next year will be a cracker, mark my words. If I were an exhibitor I would worry if I haven't booked my 05 space already.
This is set to be one of Europes leading GA shows. A piece of cake to get to on the tube - leave your cars behind.
Look out for it on 05 and make a note in your diaries.
Even the catering was excellent!
