Glad you enjoyed it Dan. Grin

Can't say I've ever been to Fairford. The thought of all that traffic puts me off. I used to go to the open days at Greenham Common & Mildenhall back in the 80s. I think these were very similar to RIAT. Brilliant. Wink

Some of the guys did go. Check out the topics by Mr.Bones & PeteTLUK in the Photos forum. http://www.simviation.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=photos;action=messageindex...

Cool. I'll check those photos now. Quote:

Yeah. It took our coach 1 hour to go about a mile to the road! VERY much worth it though!

I went, absolutely fantastic 8)
Best airshow i've been to in 19 years.
Didn't go by road - although over £125 for a ticket was well worth avoiding the traffic

if you saw the AN-225 there, i was probably sleeping because you can't miss such a big bird! i think you mean the C-5 Galaxy which stood right behind the C-141 Starlifter. but the real AN-225 wasn't there...allas! Wink
