https://simpleflying.com/airbus-beluga-xl-passenger-capacity-analysis/ Beluga passenger airliner? 1200 pax on an 'airliner' version of a Beluga? Well that's fine, if the passengers are all under eight, and travelling without luggage. I think 'simplistic-flying' need to look at weight as well as vol...

Re: Your Favourite UK Airshow Venue
Speaking of smaller venues, I'd suggest that Ragley Hall would take some beating. The intimate garden-party atmosphere, and the natural amphitheatre of the terrain - it's just a very pleasant place to watch planes....

Don't let it bother you Daz; there are very many more people on here who are happy to read sociable, easy to understand posts like yours, than the few who have a need to pick up on grammatical details. And even the latter folks usually mean it to be helpful, or friendly banter, even though it can co...

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread
Genuine question, would people still be saying that if the display wasn’t accompanied by Enya? (Emotions can play a big part in decision making). For the record I thought it was a stunning routine. Genuine answer then, absolutely yes. My first view of the display was from P&V, without music or ...

Re: Interesting Internet
I've always thought that air forces should have a couple of jet options, if there's a major fault with the F35 in future that causes them to be grounded, most of Europe's air arms will be out of operation. How about flogging the jet to potenetial buyers with one of it's main selling points being st...

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread
Oh, and if the Sk.60 doesn't win an award I will demand a public enquiry. Superb flying. Having seen it from three different viewpoints, in various weather conditions, I'm absolutely on board with you on that. There are two main aspects to any display: technical, and artistic. I'd say the Sk60 won ...

Yet another shower on the SW horizon. More or less directly upwind of Fairford is the only place any showers have appeared for the last hour! Funny how often that happens here.

Re: Park & View Monday Departures - East or West?
First year where I was too late booking P&V online. Asked at both info kiosks today if I could simply pay on entry. First said “all sold out” whilst second said the same, but that a “very few” tickets would be available and get there early. I’ve always gone east, but thought I’d go west this ye...

Re: RIAT 2023 Discuss everything thread
These Ts&Cs seem entirely reasonable, but that "or otherwise" at the end is a bit moot. If you're off-site, even if you have bought a ticket, you are surely outside the geographical limits of the legal contract that you have entered into with them? And if you haven't bought a ticket, ...
