You have no interest in watching any of the other aircraft leave? Bizarre...

On catch-up from a great weekend at RIAT.

Anyone know what happened to the Canadian Hornet (NORAD) on Sunday? The jet they put did put on a great display :-)

Cheers,

Phil

I guess seeing a B1 take off is more unique than seeing an il-76 depart...

:tumbleweed:

Still, each to their own..

Any sign of them yet? Now 1100L and not a squeak. Did I miss them?

Edit: Forget that. Just saw them....from a long way away. :sad:

Personally, I think anyone who goes to P&V East for departures when R27 is in use is a bit odd. :biggrin:

I guess it depends on whether you’d rather see aircraft in the air or on the ground...

I'll post in the feedback thread at some point, but I just wanted to say, that was a truly great airshow. I had mixed feelings going in and was prepared to be underwhelmed but they pulled it off. Never a dull moment. Looking forward to the next one.
