Another vote of thanks to Tommy and the others who have contributed today. I'll be there tomorrow (first time at P&V) and wondered if it's best to get there 8 am or even earlier?
Hope that's not like asking how long is a piece of string. :confused:

The French Navy said they would fly the Demo with a weapons fit.

Yeah, that's what I read too, but maybe that was just an air to air load like they were carrying today?

Oh wow, a Rafale B! It’s been years since I’ve seen one.
I am impartial to a bit of jet noise.
