As others have said FIA this year was something of a disaster , I have heard it called a very bad and over priced Duxford at best .
And a disgrace that the organisers scheduled the public days in the way that they did, with what appears to have been little attempt to put up anything approaching the accepted standard .
TAG want FIA off there site and I believe the present agreement only extends to 2018, so maybe then either FIA will fold or it finds a new home hopefully the later .
But surely paying £48 for what people were treated too this year will do the most damage, after all even people have memory s

It was an enjoyable airshow I thought. pretty good variety, and not as distant as originally thought. The problem really is the link to the Trade show, which makes people assume there will be a more cutting edge display, and the price! I have no idea why Farnborough felt that was a competitive price. Its hugely over the top. I doubt the public show next time will go ahead, but if it does, they need to think about pricing and completely dividing it from the trade days.

I went on Friday and enjoyed it!

My main interest is in fast jets, I went to Fairford on Friday and Monday to get my kerosene fix!! (I still had the smell in my nostrils on Wednesday!! - lovely!)

There were a couple of displays at Farnborough that I thought would be boring, but I enjoyed - the autogiro and the Red Devils parachute drop.

Pitts was good too.

Still not sure about F35, I don't think we are seeing it displayed to the full extent of the envelope yet - hopefully next year at RIAT.

Can't get excited about wing walkers though.

Shame it rained for the BAe Tiffy..

I'll be there in 2018, and Fairford in 2017/18/19 etc...

I'll probably go to Red Bull at Ascot - it is a good day out (and easy for me to get to on the train)
