Do not forget the size of the 'ordinary' Air Displays.
At RAF Brawdy in darkest Wales, 1987, the visiting aircraft included 4 German Navy Starfighters and 16 F-16s. We ran out of parking space. Rumours of the after-party had spread NATO-wide - we only actually invited 1 Starfighter and 2 F-16s.
The party did not disappoint - I remember almost none of it!
I awoke with:
1 One of my oppos shaking me to announce we had to replace the entire croquet lawn before noon as the PMC was threatening court marshals.
2 The mother of all hangovers
3 A nurse called Sheena
