Agreed - great show. Swedish Historic Flight 4 ship and solo displays were the highlights for me. Sea Vixen, Mig 15 and two Sea King displays along with Boomerang (first time for me). Night display by the two AeroSparx had to be seen to be believed. Aircraft have lighting all over the airframe with "sparklers" on wingtips - it was just awesome.
Close flying and lots of fireworks. Would love to see them again.

Did anybody here any talk of if 2016 was going to be a weekend show or not. Would like to go as missed this year but lack time off work.

Didn't hear anything definitive at the show itself.
One worrying aspect is that they lost a major sponsor in 2015 and the local economic development council in Jersey stepped into underwrite the event in 2015.
Hope they can find another major sponsor for 2016.

There was strong talk of it becoming a weekend show for 2016; however the official website claims the date will be Thursday 8th September.
