Nev Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Does it make me a bad person that I'm about 1000 times more excited about the Il-76 & Il-78 than I am about the Su-30s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennygman Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 Does it make me a bad person that I'm about 1000 times more excited about the Il-76 & Il-78 than I am about the Su-30s? No, not mad ... bit odd maybe . I'm hoping to get up to see the Sukhois fly, but it's a bit 'up in the air' (sorry) at the mo'. Definitely doing the show though...much more interesting than last year's line up Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nev Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 If they're there for an exercise I guess the thing to do is go down the week before and hope to spot 'em in the air. I'm off on the Friday so I'll probly do what I did last year and go for a walk round the area and see what I can spot as I wander round. One of my favourite things about walking is the spotting surprises you get every now and then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennygman Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 I think the exercise is 2nd to 12th of July, so week after may be better. that said, presumably they'll be arriving the week before the show, but I've no idea exactly when.
