Does anyone watch it - what are your thoughts?

I was recommended to watch this years ago - was told its really good - a best scenario if you can not be there in person.

I don't always watch, just every now and then, but they always used to be the go to stand at an airshow for their 3 videos for a tenner.
They are the best ones that do it I believe.

In my opinion they are the best
The footage is excellent and their commentary for riat and others was faultless, which is remarkable considering riat spans 5 days. Lots of interesting info and history, which others.............lack.

Never taken up their streaming offers but I did always enjoy their DVDs (Still sad they stopped) As said by others, they are probably the best out of those who covered airshows.

I wonder if any of the crew are members in here?
Would be interesting chat with them.

I tend to break up my viewing of the live feeds of the arrivals - departures at RIAT into 2.5hr views - its something to look forward to - I love the way that their creator has so much enthusiasm in his talking his way through the tech aspects live on air (aka shutter speeds - lighting etc) almost like he is saying the silent things out loud - but I think its cool.
