Having seen the air display at Goodwood Revival this year and watched on t'net some of the 'action' from Duxford and RIAT that I am considering going abroad to get to watch a proper air display.

I will now to turn blind to google to see what I can find out but any recommendations - are the shows biased to prop/jet, are they 2 days, do you need a good ticket or is general viewing fine, etc. - would be much appreciated.

It was a bit bobbins this year wasnt it.... strangely, on Thursday evening, we were sat in the Goodwood hotel having a few shandies and an early supper and the Spitfire was obviously getting a run out.. but that was a mini air display on its own... few loops, barrel rolls etc... but i guess with no crowds to really see it.

The reg changes have made it a bit dull.... cant really recommend any european air displays... not been to any!

That display was for the Freddie March spirit of aviation launch party.
