Hello,


Just got back from my first ever airshow, downside Im badly sunburnt one day before I go to Turkey, So Oh dear..on that.

Just a few questions, how did the Reds manage not to get hit by the 744s wake? A few pilots were quite amazed at how they managed not to hit the wake of the 747. It was amazingly flown and whoever the pilot was well done, I saw you do a 2 mile 360 turn 5 miles out, thanks for the show.

The Reds were amazing, and the Eurofighter, not as loud as Concorde, or that earthquake feel to it etc, but gave me the sense of Concorde.

Shame the vulcan did not fly, most people left when they said its gone tech, but I can understand that, what was wrong with it though?

Regards,

Robbie

Vortices spiral off of the wing tips so I think the red sitting right under its bum was safe. I think the others were flying just above and ahead of them.

Real pity about the vulcan, but I suppose it was the one most likely to go tech.
