BMI A320 Display

REad with interest on t'web that a BMI A320 will do a 'flypast AND display' at the Jersey Airshow this weekend.

I think it's also formating with the Reds.

Rehearsal early aswell tomorrow, I believe. Maybe that idea was ditched, though.

I hear there's been a few problems in the fact that the Reds want to fly the display at around 300kts but the radius of turns for the A320 at that speed are too great for the team. They're having to slow the formation down to around 220kts for the flyby. Should make a fantastic photo and it looks like it'll be a beautiful day for it. CAVOK forecast all day!

Becuase it looked good and they could?

One might as well ask "Why the Mona Lisa?".

Oh and I suppose it is good PR for BMI. That's OK as well, I fly them as SLF on London-Belfast a lot and they are still a proper airline with proper service so all power to them.
