Very nice photos, only times I have been to Vegas is being for my annual sojourn to Heli Expo
convention.
Last one in 2013 the UAE Mirage 2000 crews were staying in our hotel.....
I agree that RIAT or any other airshow (left
) in the UK could learn the US way of hospitality and ease of letting attendees in either through the gates or by road.
If I am correct, Nellis, Edwards and other air bases, naval air stations, Open Houses / Air shows are free entry??
Fairford is nowhere off a main motorway but like with any other base. Tucked away in windy roads etc etc not designed for en mass thousand of cars/vans/coaches/trucks. Hell it took an hour queuing through to Whelford (and they made it so that there were two lanes of cars going through village ) as I came in via Croughton/Oxford way as it took only an hour or so from my neck of the woods to get to Oxfordshire as did not fancy M25/M4 (didnt matter cos on the second day found out the junction m25 to M4 was closed )
cheers
