View Full Version : Fantasy Airshow 2009
It's a beautiful day. Ideal conditions for an airshow.
What aircraft would you love to see display?
Any era.
A brief description of it's/their display and leave the rest to our imaginations.
No topless wing-walkers please.
Three camouflaged TSR2's move along the crowdline.
A series of loud bangs are followed by a four jet, high speed pass that leaves the crowd breathless.
The TSR2's take off and display with the others.
Seven TSR2's....
And looking to your left.......
How about a BAC 221 in formation with a Concorde followed by a B-70 and SR. 71.
A Boeing 787 would be nice - well I bet Boeing might think so!! (In time for Paris, or Dubai.....maybe even F'boro in 2010.)
Did you say 'It's a beautiful day with ideal Wx?'.............Now that has all the potential for fantasy in the U.K. if the last two summer's are anything to go on.

Making a high speed pass ...
Tupolev TU-144 in formation with the with Russian Air Force (VVS) Swifts Mig 29's and Knight Su-27's
:ok:
JAS
An airfield attack by a squadron of Mosquitoes. Lots of pyrotechnics going off.
No health and safety issues at this airshow.
Followed by a very low flypast and a high break to port.
A supersonic pass by anything - why settle for high speed.
The Tomcat was there or thereabouts at Dubai 03.....nice!

I can remember sitting in the pub talking to some friends about airshows. At the time 'Fantasy Football' was just becoming popular, and I said that we should have a 'Fantasy Airshow' contest.
There were lots of different categories for scoring points -
selecting dates for airshows,
picking which ones were cancelled due to weather, or finances
best 'crash' at an airshow
which airshow would have a crash
what would crash
most expensive show to enter
most expensive programme
most expensive 'burger and coke'
most extraordinary visitor at a single show
best 'failure to show-up despite promising to' act
best excuse for not displaying
I seem to remember that we got up to about two pages of categories, and the above ones were not the 'sickest' by any stroke!
