    I'd love to go, but just can't handle the crowds anymore. Pity, 'cos it means I miss out on the "big specials" that don't make it to the rural shows. [sigh]

    Ah well... another trip to the Pt. Cook museum sounds like it's in the cards. Wonder how they're going on the mossie?
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    I think I'm probably going. I Know what you mean about the crowds Skew, I'm still recovering from the massive crowds at the F1's. I hate it.
    However, after the show the FA 18 put on at race day, I absolutely have to go! 5 times louder than an F1 and just freaking amazing at how it flew straight over my head nice and low then bang, nose pointing the sun and disappeared into the stratosphere in about 10 seconds. For some reason I had already put my earplugs in when it ripped over the stands for the first time.....most people didn't.
    I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

    crowds are OK.
    It's all those people I can't stand.

    Had a great day wandering around. Found more than a few old friends, got to tour the C17, C27, F35 mockup, and few of my old types,the Iroquois, Squirrel and C130J.

    The Super Hornet gave a very versatile display, as did the F15 and a few others. For anyone planning a day out you will enjoy it.

    Just remember the ear plugs...

    Oh yeah, nearly forgot, if you've never seen a two engine turboprop transport do an aileron roll or a bunt manouevre then here's your chance; the C27 Spartan does a fantastic display.
