Of course they are mistaken, you are missing Polecat's point.attila.szabo wrote:Polecat wrote:"the MiG-29 is an improved version of the Sukhoi 27"...
Sorry, I think they're mistaken, the otherway round is more likely but also not true, for the start, they are two different aircraft manufacturers.
At least it wasn't as terrible as in the last years, with L. being replaced by that looking for publicity female 300 Squadron pilot. And at least it prevented J. into getting to his well-known pub-talk with his friend without realising thousands of other people can hear it. And a great lack of Kuifje BTW.Polecat wrote:Annual tradition, moaning about the commentators
I understood that 2012 is the year of 100 years KLu and the opendays of this year will be held at Volkel, was I misinformed?Hans Rolink wrote: Sadly, we will have to do without a KLu Open Day in 2012, so will propably visit Texel's Air Show which did give us some surprises in previous years.
Hans.
My point as well .. also there where some gaps in between where noting seems to happen during the power-demo.Wildpicture wrote:The only minor negative point would be that the power demo wasn't very spectacular and very hard (NOT) to see for visitors not standing directly in front of it.
Commentary improved by 50% this year. Indeed, no "kuifje gehalte" or "cadillac of the skies", but that was merely because of the absence of a Mustang. More interesting facts that could me understood by every one. Sometime I think that mister J.C. is a bit jealous. saying "oh so your a re just practising for civilian flying" when they say that a Libya misison is lasting 6 to 7 hours makes me wanna puke. Sometimes I wished the pyrotechnics guys strapped on of those fireworks under his chair. I was glad somebody from the RNLAF was sitting next to him all day long. Not always perfect but improving. Maybe in 2013 two RNLAF personnel in the booth?aviodromefriend wrote:At least it wasn't as terrible as in the last years, with L. being replaced by that looking for publicity female 300 Squadron pilot.
