Top Airshow Moments of 2021?

Post by Witchcraft24 »

Although there were no military shows in 2021 and the sea front sector was severely curtailed, 95% of the smaller events took place - is that not enough for a Top 10? Or even a Top 5 - something?

Just listened to the “2021 Retrospective” podcast and it hardly mentions the 2021 airshow season, despite there being a fair amount to report on.

My #1 show of 2021 was Old Buckenham, this was my first 'conventional' airshow post pandemic and felt a bit odd being in a crowd again. The show was superb however, and the Typhoon a real coup for a small display. All the flying was top notch and some nice highlights, including a rare outing for Sally B.

Living where I do (Scotland) there weren't any. The only thing of note was the Cop 26 arrivals, which was mainly a static event, with few doing display routines!

We did have a chat about doing one but many of the events had the same acts or were the same venues with repeated shows. Yes there were one or two stand out moments but there just weren't enough to really put together a good top 10. 2022 however will be different :-)
