I went with the missus on Saturday and I thought the flying display was great. It seems as though it was the best day to go. Anyone like to put forward an explanation as to why the F35 was so much noisier than the other jets? Is it because the engine was putting out more thrust to do its display. There doesn't seem to be much point in having stealth technology if it can be heard from over the horizon!From what I remember reading the F22 was never on offer from the US. The only 5th gen fighter foreigners could buy was the F35.

The displays by the Pitts' was terrific and the display with the Sukhoi was a highlight. I loved the sound of its radial compared to the angry buzz of the Pitts.

It was a great day out. All I can say to those who were once again disappointed about what was on offer is, don't go!
