Great. Thanks for your replies

Hi,

When you say be there early, how early? At around 6.30am would be early enough?

Thanks,

Brilliant set. Some of the best I've seen.

Great set Paul..it all wouldn't be possible without the volunteers from MAS

Wow great shots at a stunning setting

Some great shots there Wes...glad you enjoyed the island for a few days

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

I saw some great photos of the display on this forum so i will not bother you with more of the same. I am submitting some of my photos taken during departures day from P&V West. There are much more on my Flickr account. Hope you like them. https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4300/35872081250_cdf4b7cd05_b...

Wow great set of photos..what lenses where you using, if I may ask?

An Israel Air Force Lockheed KC-130H Karnaf paid a visit to Malta today. These two photos are dedicated to a fellow spotter who fell ill today and died whilst doing what he loves best..spotting. May he rest in peace. http://i1201.photobucket.com/albums/bb354/mbo570/MIA%202017/4361mbo_zpsqlvregsm.jpg...

Apache team have self confirmed with pyrotechnics

I ended up getting a viewing village garden upgrade. I want to be nearer to the crowdline and the stand seems to be set some way back.

Thanks..i am into photography and most probably will be using a 70-300mm lens. West sounds interesting..my only concern is if the aircraft have already gained some altitude. But as long as they stay low it would not be a problem.

I understand you cannot go from east to west..is that correct?

Which Park & View would one recommend? East or West?

Thanks,
MArio

Thanks for your reply. In 2015 I stayed on the grass a little bit back from the front line. Was not too crowded. I think this year's stand will be different from the one used last year. I thought I would make use of the higher viewpoint..but if I am further from the front line than I was when I was ...

Hi all. I am thinking of upgrading my general admission ticket to a viewing village grandstand. Is it worth it, photography wise, bearing in mind i will be carrying a 70-300mm lens? Or should i stay on the grass?

Thanks,
Mario
