That’s all well and good but the show is subsidised, the Government has said this won’t continue. If next year it to go ahead it will need to be privately invested and I guess bang goes the cheap Airshow.

Great pics Mario.

Thanks all. And also apparently MIA authorities are not too keen to have the airshow anymore on their property i.e.airfield, so fingers crossed that we have a show next year
