It said a limit of 30 options, I did try that originally though.

Re: The best...
Anyone who only went on either the Friday or Saturday would be stuffed when it comes to making the decision, though, as they wouldn't have got to see most of those displays.

Plenty of videos on Youtube if they need help to decide.

Good job it's not a serious voting system.

By coincidence, that's exactly my opinion of Brexit and Trump...

It would have been lovelier if it had been more accessible ( not stuck inside a plastic tent with no public access ) and if they'd taken the cockpit covers off.

Re: The best...
Typical -- it was in the tent with the covers on when I went to look at it not long after the gates opened & it was in the tent with the covers on when I went down there again after the flying display had finished.aviodromefriend wrote:They did bring it out of that tent as soon as the weather allowed.
