Rand Airshow
What did the rest of you think?
We waited over an hour in traffic because there were four lanes feeding into one tiny gate with one old tannie selling parking tickets from a bum bag, scrabbling about 2 minutes to get change for each car.
Another gate a bit further down the fence leading to the same field was closed. No traffic cops helping issues - very frustrating.
Distinct lack of quality stalls - most selling food, the others selling plastic kk.
Queued for parking, queued for toilets, queued for food, and all in all a very disappointing display, with one notable exception...
The fluff from SAA was superbly flown, right on the crowdline - whoever was flying it, thanks, great job - you made the day

Was dissapointed I had do a 3 legger on the day of the Airshow. Those I spoke to said I didn't miss anything except the B732 which was great. I suppose it's the sign of the times with stretched budgets etc.

We were in Rand to bring a plane back to Uganda and had sneaked down South a day early for the show. The guy in the Zlin 50 was great.
Freezing cold though - we're used to warmer weather.

The most dissapointing thing were those bloody microlights. They must ban those st from the airshows!
