Went yesterday and despite the sparsity of numbers in static, the quality was good, and so was the flying. Some great displays, the standouts for me being the Rafale, C27, Swedish Gripen and RAF Chinook. The Lanc/GR4 and Dutch F16/Apache flyby's were also worthy of note.
The French had a difficult afternoon, with the Rafale getting stuck on the runway after landing (nosewheel issue?, difficult to see from where I was) and the PdF having to abort mid-display due to an engine issue on No.2. Some sort of AOG part had to be brought from France late afternoon (in another Alpha Jet) to fix the jet in time for it's Paris flyby (as part of the Tour de France party) yesterday evening.
Oh, and once the sun came out it was damn hot.
