I do not regret going. The Lynx, MFIs and NH90 where more than welcome, the 19 new Wideroe's I scored in 3 days made it all worthwhile. I had low expectations in the beginning, which I normally have. This time though, it did turn out to be as low as expected. Too bad. On the other hand, I finally got a show in the last Nordic country....herky wrote: but the Viggen, taxiing F-104, Lynx, Safari's and other (old) stuff made it my money worth.
The Orion went tech and stayed on the ground at Andøya (why they could'nt send another one, I dont know), the Lynx was set to display, but from what I heard the display was not approved by the people higher up and was pulled.ehusmann wrote:All in all I was not too impressed with the show. Surely the Norwegian helicopters were a very welcome catch, but the show was small. Even smaller than we had expected. And why only 1 Norwegian F-16 on the static, why hide the second Typhoon, were was the announced demo of all Norwegian types in the air? It could have been much better, but I guess the inexperience showed. Good thing was the very close distance to the city. First time ever I walked from my hotel to an airshow!
