Well, I resemble a lobster in complexion, I damn well nearly glow-in-the-dark. But damn it was worth it.
The airshow was magnificent. Had a look through the static displays for a couple of hours, then the flying started and I, like the rest of the crowd sat for hours watching new and old flying for all they were worth.
The F-111 was a showstopper as usual, even though its signature move is nowhere near as impressive in daylight hours. Buy for me the star of the show was the formation of 4 F/A-18 Hornets.
But the biggest lesson to learn from my day on the tarmac.....
Don't put pasty white geeks in direct sunlight.
