i saw the seaking demonstration because i had a better seat than lanc...hehe.
And lanc, you forgot about the skyraider that taxied up the runway demonstrating its wing folding.
and another thing, the frecce tricolori come round and handed us leaflets, my uncle got one of the pilots autographs. 8)

i did, 3 rolls of film worth, none of which have been processed yet as i only just got back, and i will have no way of getting any of them on the computer here lol............
ok, so the night before, i forgot my sleeping bag so insted of staying in a tent, i slept in the car lol..............
so, i'm in the airbase on the airday, and the military police came over to me and stopped me!! they said that a member of the public had told them that i got in without paying!! so i showed the nice men my ticket!! and they sent me on my way, i thought they were coming over to take the camera out of my film and interrigate me for taking pictures of something i shouldn't have lol!
then i went into a hangar, and there was a rowing competition. ok, so, you pay a pound, and you get a minute on this rowing machine to row as far as possible in that minute, i was in the boys under 18 catagory, and with a very, very impressive distance of 327m i won a plaque!! for having the best distance in my catagory!!
but, anyway, onto the planes!!
the BBMF in the form of two spits and the Dak were supposed to put in an appearance, but, just like they did at every other airshow i've ever been too, they canceled!!
i was blown away by the size of the C-17!! it was huge!! it made the nimrod look the size of a fighter!!
the red arrows were amazing, i've never seen flying that good before........
the Eurofighter was loud, but good!
the royal jordainian falcons were much better than i expected lol
saw one of the last ever sea harrier displays, very emotional!
no E3 either, which i was quite looking forward too lol
over all it was an amazing day and well worth it!!
