Re: 2024 MCAS Cherry Point Air Show

Really glad this worked out for you!

Some friends travelled down from Eastern Canada, I was horrified for them as I read the various online commentary, looks like they were lucky enough to dodge the various issues.

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
