Re: Airshow London 2020 (Now "Sky Drive" Presented by ASL)
I want to express my opinion of this: You. Guys. Did. Good. Well, actually, to all of ASL staff, I really want to say "You've done a fabulous job!", but the vernacular seemed a bit more fitting. That we're having any kind of airshow at all is a testament to the gung-ho, over-the-top work e...

Re: Airshow London 2020
Sad to hear that the show is postponed, but not surprised. However, I'm encouraged and excited to hear that the drive in option is still on the table, AND that there's a chance of the Raptor. Always a good time when they show up! :) Now, my biggest question is this: Why is NONE of this on the websit...

Re: Airshow London 2020
I can't believe nobody's asked this yet, but does anyone have any idea how the COVID situation is going to affect this?
I'm crossing my fingers it's going to be under control by then, and I'm glad we've not heard of a cancellation yet, but no official word is still unnerving.

Re: Airshow London 2019
Hot ramp was open for Sunday. :) I think we need to chill on the criticism. We all know this year was tough for cancellations and complaining does no one any good. It's quite repetitive now and its the same story every year. I feel for the Air Ops crew who put hundreds if not thousands of hours int...

Re: Airshow London 2019
Mark: Awesome shots, man! I agree generally with your comments. However, I considered the static to be very poor. Compared to last year's show, the variety and number of aircraft was very, very small. I know we're not in the LIAS glory days with 26 Phantoms, but there was a pittance of ground displa...

Re: Airshow London 2019
Figures.
I froze my butt off out there until the Buff came, and gave up at that point. Good things come, I guess, to those who really do wait!
What time did all that stuff come in on Thursday, or was some of it Friday?

Re: Airshow London 2019
You see those burners above? Yeah, those?
That SHOULD have been what the show was like.
You were lucky to see those, Mark. Nice shots, too!
All that jet noise, and no loudspeakers ringing in your ears! Nice!

Re: Airshow London 2019
Holy Crud, Mark! Well, I THOUGHT my images looked okay... I see now what a real camera and photog can do! That's why I don't upgrade at all; I've got guys like you taking monster shots like that! That Snowbird pic is AMAZING!!! What, they calling for rain tomorrow now? That bites. I compared my pics...

Re: Airshow London 2019
So, it was an interesting day at the airfield! Sadly, no Growlers, Memphis Belle or Jayhawk. The static was also very thin; the thinnest I have ever seen. Still, I grew up in the "Glory days" of the LIAS, when we had 26 Phantoms on static in 1988, and Vulcans, Victors, Voodoos (wow, all V'...
