Re: Skydrive 2024 (Airshow London)

Impressive how quickly ticket go. Picked up the 4 day photo pass for the Far East contingent this morning. Will be curious to see how fast the photo packages go. I saw a reference on Facebook to the loudspeakers being banished for 2024. Am also curious to see what the 100th anniversary draws in. Mark

Re: What Are Your 2024 Airshow Plans?

Planned: Air Show London Sept Royal International Air Tattoo, July Maybe: The right RCAF 100th event (Aside from London, though if this year is any indication, London will not be an RCAF 100th hotspot) if timing, location, acts and lighting line up. I want to get back to RIAT after missing this year...

Re: Sky Drive 2023 (presented by Airshow London)

It's still an excellent show and I'm definitely attending in 2024, but like any airshow its not perfect and could use some adjustments. ^ This ^ I have been a vocal supporter of the show, and get frustrated by the constant negativity. I tried to strike the right balance in my show summary between h...

Re: Sky Drive 2023 (presented by Airshow London)

Have been travelling for work since my return home from ASL 2023. So still have not had time to fully go through my images (particularly departures day), or do anything more than a few quick and dirty edits. First off, a hearty thanks to the volunteers to run the show, their work is as essential as ...

Re: Sky Drive 2023 (presented by Airshow London)

Arrivals day. Thursday from last year can not be topped. Whilst today was more relaxed, weather was rather cooperative and there was a tremendous variety of arrivals with the Colorado 16s and the Raptors being the most spirited. Technical hiccups tonight with offloading... But I will leave these two...

Leading elements of the far east contingent start heading up tomorrow evening. First and only full on airshow for me this year, and no real time off this summer.... So rather looking forward to this weekend.
