And I thought you was well brought up!People tend to forget that in a greedy world that just because you have loads of money that it does buy the right to anything except having a bank statement that a few more noughts on it. Knowledge and skill still outweigh money. Economists and bankers beware.

Thank you Thank you Thank you!! I have some friends that hunt for deer, and one of the things they use is deer musk, it is even worse than skunk a few drops of that on the concrete and nobody would be able to stand there, If I can't have the spot then  yes I know on the moron would be a first option, remember the scene in Crocodile Dundee with the bats and the berries hummmmmmmmmmm  makes one feel better just to think of all these wonderful things. At least it puts a smile on.Ed

I know what my wife would do:... ....with dignity ask the individual to reverse his rude actions, but she'd have her right knee primed

The last air show I attended here, was reasonably nice, baring the fact that a few hundred thousand other folks decided to show up after I arrived.. I arrived very early and parking wasn't much of an issue.. But when the crowd did arrive and started to settle in, I too, was amazed at the clowns that thought sitting/and or standing directly in front of me and trying to get me to rearrange my gear to accommodate them was perfectly normal??? BUT the really maddening part was leaving, it took me almost three hours just to get out of the parking lot and to the expressway.. Those issues and the fact that by mid day the sun was directly in our faces, and made any decent photographt all but impossible, probably explains why I haven't been back for a second course???

I went to the US Base in the UK, Mildenhall a few years back, it was film... We were on holiday and stumbled upon this airshow which was spectacular. Trouble is like you say, everybody wants to leave at the end, we sat tight enjoying REAL American burgers cooked on oil drum BBQ's, they were the best I ever had. Each squadron seemed to have their own BBQ and everybody was welcome. I even got some pix! We don't seem to have so many airshows over here now, some are gone altogether and some are every two years, well you forget, so it becomes four years... I want to go to Elvington Nr York but I think it's next year now?

There are still local airshows here, and, military exhibitions are sometimes part of county fairs and other events. We owned a Cessna 182 in the 70's and 80's and eventually sold it as the cost of fuel, insurance and maintenance soared. I think by now private aircraft are owned mostly by groups of fliers, and not as much by individuals. Unless, of course, the individual operates as a flight instructor and can deduct his/her flying costs as a small business. - EdM.

Perhaps you will give me a shout next year Jeff? Nice pix, they must come pretty close by the looks of that... Are they the same windmills that you see from Prestatyn? BTW, just to go OT for a moment... When we went home from the 'holiday' senior management decided she wanted to take the scenic route, via Flint... It took us an hour and a half to get through Flint to the new bridge, HOW do you live with that???
