I went on first trade day. Arrived at 1000 and left at 1400. Saw one aerobatic aircraft and a Caribou fly during that time and the B1 Lancer got airborne and basically flew circles for thirty minutes at around 10,000 ft killing time for one slow run then 20 minutes later a so called fast run which looked around 250 knots at 1500 ft. While the noise of the Lancer with afterburners was impressive I think spectators were bored waiting for other than light aircraft to appear. Prices for food was exhorbitant and the organisers need to put a few chairs around the place for spectators to have a seat while having fast food. Exhibits were excellent as always and very attractive women too.
