For anyone going tomorrow I recommend taking some steps.

No long hair however I did have a small child, a buggy and a picnic blanket covered in toys.pilot_ngb wrote:Newcastle_Paul - do you have long hair? Might have spotted you. Didn't see the FC badge though!
Depends where you were standing. If you were near the lighthouse you would have got an F-16 3/4 filling your frame (400mm). Saturday was the better day, however the Reds were better than I have seen them in a long while. Don't forget it is free and for what you get you can't complain really. True the flightline was moved back but it was closer in on Saturday.The Bossman wrote:Just got in from the Mackum's (Sunday) airshow, not a bad day out but the same old problem the aircraft performing 1-2 miles out to sea. Even a 500mm lens was a struggle today. They just disappeared in to the haze, although the best view must of been from the decks of HMS Westminster lying off a mile out.
It was a much better airshow in years gone by before all this "risk assessment" attitude. The B52 was that far out it could of been a glider for all the noise that could be heard from it, one slow pass from the south, then half way up the crowd line it was ordered to right turn out to sea and that was that. I'm sticking with the likes of Elvington in the future, at least you can see the ruddy things.
