As I learned last year, theres no point in planning as It'll never go as you think.
I ended up going to old warden despite not planning to (I litterally woke up at 10am and said, F*k it I'm going)
And I planned for both fairford and Kemble and missed both.
I'm not sure where I will be in a few months so i cant plan.

[mrjake2002]

Looking good Mic, hope to see you down here at Culdrose.  :)

Hmmm.... I could stop in at Yeovilton on the way to OW...

Hopefully I'll get to Dawlish a little earlier this time.  ::)

[Ashar]

None

[Anark]

As many as I can get to.  ;D

[Vapour01]

A few.

What are you plans for attending both RIAT and Flying Legends then Jake?

Spotting in the lakes!

Which show is that, can't say I've heard of it!

[Tweek]

Goodwood Revival                            19-21st September      Goodwood, West Sussex.

You're travelling 250 miles for that?!

[Hagar]

Goodwood Revival                            19-21st September      Goodwood, West Sussex.

You're travelling 250 miles for that?!

People travel from all over the world for that. I've never been although Goodwood is only a few miles away from where I'm sitting. It's a tad expensive for me these days & you have to book tickets well in advance.

Maybe so, for the other attractions (ie. the cars), but as an air display, it's not exactly much!

[Hagar]

I see your point as it's not really an air show. It's an excellent event all the same & well worth travelling a couple of hundred miles for.

It won't be quite the same without Ray Hanna.

[mrjake2002]

I have family up there so it's fairly cheap for me!  

Plus, who knows, I might not go... just something I'd like to do at some point.  8-)

Not going to happen I'm afraid.  :( Too hard for me to get around.

As many OW as I can make, and Leg-ends.
