Well, overall i was semi-impressed. Sure wasn't great in the flying display area. And i was in the worst mood to begin with due to jetstars LACK of customer service. After nearly a two hour delay and no information from anyone, the pilot finally told us that we "should" have been informed the fact that storms last night prevented them from bringing the plane in to Syd last night. No-one could tell me anything and not even an apology. I can understand the delay and don't have a problem with that, but its the customer srvice that i was apauled at.
Anyhow probably the highlight was the C-5, sheltering the gale behind a C-17 and well thats about it really. |

I think the weather has a big impact on the whole show. Yesterday had everything - the wind is liveable (but impacts the flying displays) but the rain was still the biggest problem. My only criticism is they still don't have enough shelter - when it rained, everyone ran for the Expo because that was the only undercover area.
As for the walkthroughs, the mud itself would have really been a big problem. The amount that was walked through VH-OEG itself would have been fun to clean. I am just grateful that the airlines brought their aircraft down to a show - it doesn't make money sitting on the ground. Overall I really enjoyed it.

Marty, when using the quote function, please only quote the relevant text, and definitely do not requote the image unless it is vital to your post and is on a previous page. This makes the board easier to read and much faster to load. -mod

Not unless they did a 10 at a time sort of thing like the V AUstralia 777 did on Friday. They only let certain amount of people on then let more in once the others were leaving. Very effiecent I believe.

It almost didn't happen - he was suited up, fully briefed and strapped in at 0900 when the jet broke - the only time either of the two jets has broken during their six week long 'world tour' so far! Luckily he got a second chance when he rode in Ricardo's 'primary' jet after the flying was finished for the day. Said he felt six inches shorter but 10 feet taller afterwards, and had a dopey grin on his mug for the next three days!
