AeroExpo
Well worth the trip again - we came away with "aeroplane-buying-lust" just like always. This time it's the Sportcruiser.
We couldn't get a landing slot because we asked too late, so I was much motivated to see how well the slots were used during the morning. Answer - like a very very - very - slow day at the PFA rally....

Are you sure it is only airplane buying lust you had at the sport cruiser stand?? 
I went down yesterday with my little boy - was a nice day out. Have to say that, being a helo driver, the cockpit of the Cirrus is very nice indeed! Almost turned me to the dark side.....
... and I also didn't get to see what I went to see (the new AirBox) stuff, as the guys were busy when I went past and didn't have time to go back. I shall have to pop down to their offices and have a look I think.

It's funny to see this show again. Back in 2001/2, when I was looking to buy something new, the Cirrus salesman wasn't interested in fitting an ADF+DME, and the DA40-180 salesman wasn't either but couldn't, so I bought a TB20.
Air Touring appeared to be missing.

Went to AeroExpo and saw something I didn't expect to...
A flying Avro Vulcan! But not at Wycombe. Saw it flying over the M6 north of the M54. It seemed to be doing a display somewhere towards Cosford. It looked truely amazing.
AeroExpo was good, but the Vulcan topped it!

I saw her over Bourton on the Water on Sunday afternoon and was so excited I couldn't speak! I was enjoying a lovely day in the country with my new girlfriend and started behaving very strangely (according to her) when 'that funny shaped plane went over'. I explained the significance and she was duly impressed - another aviation convert!

Well, I visited the Czech aerowork stand on Friday and got a skinney bloke with a clammy handshake and bad breath; there's really no justice in the world.
All in all, an interesting show and great to see the Tecnam 2006 in the flesh - albeit looking a little sad resting on it's trestle....

I visited a Czech stand there (in an open tent) but definitely didn't see any girls there; just an English bloke who didn't know anything about anything. This was Friday.
Does anybody know anything about Air Touring?
