As the Crow Flies

Post by G-CVIX »

Just curious as to who UKAR/FRIAT voted for? I think the last time something I voted for won was 2012 (the Black Eagles).

This year I voted for Soloturk on the strength of Saturday alone. As much as I enjoyed the F-22, I would also place the Rafale and the Gripen ahead of it.

F-22 got it. RAMEX got best paint job.

I voted for SoloTurk also. It was such an inventive and entertaining routine - truly outstanding display flying. That said, I can't really take issue with the result, the Raptor was certainly entertaining too!

I voted for SoloTurk for As the Crow Flies. Both that and Rafale were far better displays than the F-22. I can't help but think this award tends to be awarded for type rather than display...

This may sound stupid but how do you vote for the award in the friat enclosure?

I might be mistaken but I think all of them (F22, Soloturk and the Rafale) have won it in the past?

I voted Solo Turk. For me it was the best display even though it only performed on the Saturday, such a shame not to see it again on Sunday.

Collect a voting form from the desk, fill it in and pop it in the ballot box by 2pm Sunday. There's a draw for those who've voted: prize is a 50% discount on next year's subs.
