Just got back after being there since Wed.
Even with the reduced flying on Saturday most people seemed happy with the day.
Apparently the Ukraine pilot was called in for a chat for coming really close to the crowd line after his display on saturday.
Sunday was a great day the Ukraine pilot did an even better display on the Sunday.
I'm surprised they had anything left as everything was for sale or swopping!!! They were a bit miffed having there beer taking away from the hanger party as they tried to bring their own. They certainly looked a hard drinking bunch of what seemed mainly overweight middle aged men.
The dutch had their usual massive sound system at the back of their herc but no barbie on the wing.
The Japanese were really friendly and their drummers were excellent apparently someone complained about them being too loud!!
I managed to miss the special visitor as there was no tanoy where i was and i did not hear anything on the radio, which i'm well annoyed about.
It was a great if tiring few days.
Apparently next year is 3 full days rather than reduced flying on the friday so i will be back next year hopefully.
Only thing is i will have to be there from tuesday next year
