An informative and entertaining read thanks, particularly around Avalon East, however I must say that YAVE was going gang-busters yesterday (Sat), I don't know how many were parked, however I've never seen that many parked there for at least 6 years, they were well down past the control tower to the north. The strip was a tad rough but probably better than normal. With a distinct lack of rainfall, very little can be done to smooth it out at this time of year. My tie-down pegs snapped off - not much anyone can do to help that.
PS: The dress code has been on the website for years, but largely ignored - if ever heard of anyone being rejected.
The trade (military halls) were also chockers yesterday. I've never seen an Avalon Airshow as busy as yesterday. Reported to be over 200,000 visitors this week.
