Latinbear Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 Those are very nice! I particularly like no. 1 for the context and no. 2 with the helicopter below the Patrulla Aguilla. I had planned to go to the Open House but by the time I got going on Saturday the traffic was such that I gave up and just drove slowly to Madrid to catch my flight. Looking forward to seeing some more and thanks for sharing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Thank you Latinbear. The open house was pretty good. We got there about 07.45 and it was worth being early as the traffic did get a little crazy from what I hear. We had to leave at 1400 to catch our flight and it seemed that it was winding down by then anyway! Link to the flickr album is here: https://flic.kr/s/aHskxuY1Fj I'll try to get some more done tonight! regards Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latinbear Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 The lighting wasn't great on early on the Friday morning and given that flying was limited anyway I thought, rather naively as it turns out, that I'd rock up just in time for the first display at 10.30am. Big mistake! The police were directing all traffic away from the road I wanted to take and in the distance I could see a huge queue and this was still a couple of miles or two from the base gate we used on the Friday. I clocked the mileage from base entry to parking up on Friday at nearly three miles and adding that to the queue plus knowing that flying finished at 2pm I decided that I probably wouldn't be in before midday and then with everybody leaving after the flying had finished........ Stupidity on my part but there you go. Live and learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_H_ Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Ah I see! Talking to one of the staff on the friday and she said that they were expecting 40,000 people!! We decided to go early even if it meant we were waiting for the place to open but as it turned out we were six rows into the car park! Way out was a bit of a palaver though but was obvious they had been turning people away as there were lots of cars dotted around with people in the fields etc. The static was thoughtfully laid out and the flying display was pretty good. Highlights being the twin Rafale display followed by Gizmo in Blizzard. I've yet to do those photos though! Howard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinxman Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Great stuff, and nice to see the number of participating airframes on the increase. Couldn't make it this year, so bring on BAN Landiviseau in 2017! cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
