I would have liked to attend to the Flying Legends 2008 , unfortunately I couldn't. Last time was two years ago and it was great. What a fantastic job the organizers are doing . The only comparison is the Ferte Allais show in France and it comes as a distant second both as a show and for static exhibits too. The price is similar 40 eur.They had pyrotechnics going on but the timing was so bad it looked more like a really bad B movie.I got a (paying) ride on a Ju 52 and what a great moment it was. Unfortunately the organizers didn't oblige so we didn't have the chance of saying:" Achtung Spitfeuer!"
Regarding Flying Legends something puzzles me, the best vantage point is on the slope by the land warfare museum , so why put the paying marquees beside the tower?
I am looking forward to see the ME 262 and FW 190 replicas or the Vulcan making an appearance someday.
