ive just gotten back from the grand event. im currently compiling a set of pics and movies which i shall upload, and then share with the rest of SimV

was too bad it rained half way through the air display but it still ruled!

[Mictheslik]

it did indeed, did you shelter in those boring halls where people tried to sell you bits of undercarriage when it rained ?

nope, i hid under the cover of the private building, near the hotdog and burger stand.

that inside simulator set-up was cool, almost got to use it (even tho it was for display)

was actually going to go today, but after a 6 day work week, and with at least 13 days before my next day off I decided against it, when I saw it was 10am by the time I woke up

Twas a good show, and Raytheon's huge... place... was great, especially watching the A380 from there Vid probably coming soon.

Got to listen to a lecture by two of the Arrows and saw them perform. Got to stand on the front row of the audience too

[machineman9]

what about that crazy glider pilot!

[Tom_M]

What crazy glider pilot?

I'll probs upload my vid to SimV sometime next week.

I saw him at Biggin hill a couple of months ago, but it was a guy being towed by an Extra 300 doing aerobatics, see

Don't think he performed that day.

Video coming later tonight provided I can get it uploaded quick enough. It's 21mins long and has some great closeups.
