Oh jeez, Nutloose, you crack me up.

How many Airshows have you organised?

What is your experience of organising a major airshow?

I did the Finningley show for 8 years: it is a dynamic process. You get some young, enthusiastic PRO and your planned 40K attendance, coupled with the weather suddenly becomes 160K.

Oh, and did I forget....you are at the mercy of the weather!

50K for two days work? Sounds like my kind of job.

That airshow usually falls on the weekend of The Goodwood Festival of Speed or the British Grand Prix.

Hope to never be involved with waddo ever again, I have far better things to do that weekend.
