Made it for the second year running..despite a tepid flying display line up..all involved deserve a round of thanks.
Couple of stand out from the rest - Dutch F16 that made anything else with afterburner pale into insignificance, closely followed by the Belgian F16 who nearly matched up. Medals for 2 Italian F104s - a for just truning up and b - for flying the "earth spike". FRS2 Pair-good effort and Reservists to boot! Ex CFS Gnat-thats a novel way to spend hard earned cash!Obviously a rich mans toy- and a PPL only, cracking-must get one!
All the local spotters were waxing lyrical about the AAC HAF arrival-6 types, 6 different performance envelopes, 3 rotary 3 fixed-full marks for just getting there. Comments overheard at post display party suggest the HAF are becoming more of a crowd puller than the Blue Eagles! No back flip Lynx-sorry AAC no impact!!
None the less a good day out - all the extra graft by station personnel is appreciated by Joe Public!
