What an incredible show. Virtually everything there was brand new to me, and it wasn't' until later in the day that I realised I'd seen a Mainstay, Blackjack, Backfire, Halo, Havoc, Hokum and myriad other types, all in day, right up close. The Su-35 display must be the single best fast jet display imaginable, I've never seen an aircraft move like that. Preposterous stuff. And I still can't believe that I've actually seen a T-50. THe quality was unreal. Who'd have thought we'd see a MiG 1.44?! I'm also pretty pleased to say that I've now been on both a Concorde and a Tu-144.
What was annoying was that we went on the Friday and Sunday, and the Sunday flying display seemed to be missing about half of the acts. Whilst the Falcons flew on the Friday, they were absent on the Sunday as was the huge helicopter flypast. That was a real disappoint. And I didn't get to see the Wings of Tavrida once, which was a real shame.
Can also highly recommend the Ian Allen tour very highly. Everything we did was superb fun.
