I was there, decent show from the local aerobats, but the Blades blew everyone away!
Dunno whether it was good or bad that the aer arann atr got closer to the crowd for photos than the IAC CASA, both being planes in a similar class......
If you have to do it, you always have to do it right. Either it makes a difference, or it’s good practice so that when it does make a difference, it gets done right.
Good show, except for PC-9s.Very short display and a bit pedestrian.EC-135 was good.Blades excellent.Gerry Humphreys was excellent,as per.Dave Bruton and Eddie Goggins were also first-class, especially Eddie's 13-turn spin.C-17 was worth the wait.

lads the two (imho) high points of the day were the C17 and the aer arran (those lads musta been having a ball,) by a mile, i found the para display was poor (i was at arnhem last year and that was a para demo) .....
and (ya can hate me for this) formation flying 172's is an embarrassment!
other than this i had a nice day,

It's a professional career
