It's good to see they have a back-up plan. Obviously their(organizers) first choice is to have planes based at London, but if they need to be based at Selfridge in order to put on the show, then so be it. Selfridge would allow for tanker support to make this feasible as well.
I think this show has the most questions around it, due to being across the border and having border restrictions/closures etc. I've also noticed a lot of people crap on the event and almost want it to fail.
I'm confident that the organizers have done their due diligence to make sure they can successfully and safely put on an event.
Man, who would crap on these guys? That's some king-size BS.
I think ASL is doing something awesome. It might be a bit buggy, but this ins't a traditional time, and it isn't a traditional air show. Rather than just give up and say "Can't do it...", these guys are busting butts to make something happen.
If people can't get behind that, then they suck. Plain and simple.
I'll be critical of mistakes that ASL might make on a conventional show, where it's ground that's been tread upon before, but this is new, so they get massive props from me for blazing a great path here.
As far as I'm concerned, it's all thumbs up for that gang doing all they can to make this happen! Nice work, everyone!
