Safety Helmut:
Right, hang on, I was there yesterday, and it was ........................................a waste of a Saturday.
and
As for the displays, well I know the weather was bad, but come on a circuit from each of the so called ISTAR triad, wow, oh and the bloke commentating: clueless !
I'm one of the ISTAR triad crew and although I did not fly in yesterday's display, I had a long chat, after the display, with my colleagues who had. They were a little concerned that when the 3-ship formed up (in close formation) to conduct the 'scheduled' flypast, they entered low cloud and lost sight of each other, heaving to break off before something 'nasty' happened. Rightly, the aircraft captains' decided to 'fly through' individually, which meant, due to the display schedule, they could only conduct one pass each. 'Wow' you might well say, but your expectations of something more exciting hi-light your complete ignorance of flight safety. All aircrew in yesterdays display took a degree of risk in order to put on at least some sort of display in abhorent weather conditions, so people like you could get your money's worth.........but oh, I forgot.........
Safety Helmut:
I didn't pay, but if I was the paying public, I would think my money wasted.
You pathetic sponging t****er (concessionary ticket from a friend in the RAF was it?).
You are right, you have no right to moan. All PAYING spectators that go to airshows know that bad weather means a limited flying display and, let's face it, the weather reports leading up to the show didn't exactly say we were going to have a glorious day, did they?
Safety Helmut (again):
the whole thing just smacks of commercialism ! No longer trying to show off the RAF at its best, but just trying to maximise income
All profits of Waddington airshow goes to charity - that's real commercialism isn't it?
I suspect this must be your first airshow - K**b Jockey.
