S! Banssee - did you go??

It is a bit of a religion for us - there are four or five of us that go for the arrivals days on Weds through Friday and then go the show on Saturday. Actually, it's just an excuse to drink beer Cool

I'm wondering if you saw the Typhoon display on Thursday? About 2 minutes into the routine, he climbed up to about 8,000 feet, and spiralled down towards us in the viewing enclosure, before heading towards the runway and putting on reheat about 5 feet from the ground... No exaggeration - really was that close to disaster. Rolling Eyes

In fact, he was so close, that he damaged the runway with the engine exhausts - it had to be repaired before anyone else could use it!

Listening to the ATC, he was called back in to explain his departure from the routine - and rumour has it that he hit trouble because he had not set the correct QNH and QFE into the flight systems, so he thought he was a little higher than he thought! So, all those billions of dollars development nearly up in smoke! Laughing

But the rest of the show for us was as ever outstanding. My highlights were the Romanian MiG-21's and the Polish Su-22 Fitter. Plus loads of helos this year, nice bunch from Italy... Best display? Red Arrows gets my vote...

LOL!! It was too hot to eat - I had to keep drinking lager!! Wink

Do you remember the year when an An-12 from Bulgaria (I think), or could have been the Czech Republic, opened the back ramp and started selling T-shits and their local beer??

I think they were raising some cash for their flight home! Mr. Green But it was good to look round one of those old things!
