trade show full of salesmen sucking up to the airforce. Garmin display pathetic.
Best stand? Bureau of meteorology, informative and friendly. they gave me a pen!
i left about 1pm, the flying display was a bore. only another two hours drive to get home.
My take on another thread, agree ugly nacelles and lack of GA, it's still dying.
