I'm not sure the spelling is quite right on the following :grin: my God it was an ugly heap. Great selection amongst those and fabulous shows right through the 80s and 90s. I so wish the Mirage 4000 had gone into service with the French Air Force, just imagine that brute in French AF camos. :drool:

At least it costs nothing to try watching from there, so I'll give it at least one go this year.

1996 for me, my last and i think the last REAL airshow for the enthusiast.
such variety, and the last time the Russians did something here in numbers.........oh and that 35 display was just unbelievable at the time.
