Farnborough Airshow

Postby Sir_Jon » Wed Jun 28, 2006 11:18 am

Hi all,
Just wondering whether anyone from here is going to the Farborough Airshow on the 22nd and 23rd of July. If the lineup is correct, it will be the first public display at an airshow in the Uk of the A-380, which should be interesting :D

Only problem I could see with that is the competion between Boeing and European aircraft manufactures. Just think about Concorde...Still, would be cool if it did visit the US.

I'm going! Got my tickets!

The A380 should be good, missed out on the flyover of Bristol because I was in a History lesson....I did hear it though, although most of my classmates mistook it for a normal ailiner!

See some of you there!

If I go it will be on one of the trade days & only if my brother asks me to keep him company. The air display is much better on the public days but I can't handle the crowds. Farnborough is sadly a pale shadow of its former self. http://www.airsceneuk.org.uk/oldstuff/FabFarnboro/farnboro.htm

This is the one I won't be attending this year :( We put an enquiry in but never got anything satisfactory in reply (because we are only interested in the public days).
