I am back from Enland, Fairford. The show was great.
Two B-1 and two B-52 and also two A-10. Four Romanian Mig 21 and Polish SU-22. A lot of planes in Tiger colours. Red Arrows with three Spitfires for a salute. An flying Lancaster from WW2. There was to much to say it all here.

Let me know if somebody of you gonna to an airshow and what you see.

Salute

Hi Duchy - went from Thur to Mon - camped above the base - only went on base on Monday for liftoff - been going 20 yrs so dont go on for static these days - there is a gravel extraction pit to North side of base that aircraft turn over away from display etc - this is where we sit the view are unbelievable - we also had the ScanEagle over us for several minutes on the Saturday - as usual i have mixed feelings about the show - it's inevitable when you have been there so many times but over 5 days you have a good time - have you seen pictures of the Eurofighter recovering from a dive at an estimated 16 feet during its' practice display on Friday - it piled on the afterburner and damaged the tarmac ! The weather made all the difference we came back like lobsters despite the weather closing in on Monday for the lift off...Loz.

I was also on Monday for lift of and the day before for the show.
Sunday was hot and Monday raining.

Salute
