Excellent picture Rabbi O'. You can be proud of Jaques, tell him I said so. Having him taking the pictures probably allowed you one pint in each hand, no?

Some of those aircraft appear to be made from cheap composites

I wish...Unfortunately, as Jacques is 15, I was the designated driver.Excellent picture Rabbi O'. You can be proud of Jaques, tell him I said so. Having him taking the pictures probably allowed you one pint in each hand, no?

We didn't take any pictures of one of the best bits of the airshow as we were just gazing skywards with our jaws agape
Anyway it deserved video rather than stills......
This was the aerobatics display of an EVAA (French Airforce Aerobatics Team) pilot flying an Extra 330sc. At the end of his show he signed off by flying along the runway at about 200 ft, performing a flat 90 deg turn until he was flying sideways facing the crowd, dipping the nose to salute the crowd, rotating back 90 deg and continuing on his way.
I have no idea how this is possible...........

A stunning collection of obsolete war planes!
