wanna go Sunday? go early, to avoid cue's and the boot.

ABSOLUTELY!!! Today at around 10.50 the cue was reaching from the entrance, through the door, towards the street and turned for a few more meters along the museum building (and moved very slowly, if at all. Even RIAT in 2002 did a better job on entrance operations).

After the lecture for the friends about ELTA one of the people from the museum stated this was the busiest day in the park's history.

Flamant F-AZER confirmed. Well, it does not seem to wear a reg, but No 276.

I arrived a little late, around 10.30 this morning. It was admittedly busy but the queue was very long indeed and taking ages. Which in the end meant no euros from me for Aviodrome today.

sorry to hear you bailed out for that, hope you stayed outside as an alternative, as demo flying started very late in the afternoon. (...most people had left, but still busy. mind you). ps

(P-51 and FFour did not really demo), but hey, it is not air show.

So again, go early! (or endure the cue).

[Fogg]

Yes, I did stay all day and personally had an OK day, since photography of taxiing a/c is just as good outside. I was just making a point towards Aviodrome management. Most people indeed left early, without having seen an old a/c move. Many seem to have spent more time in the queue than on the grounds and can hardly have been enthousiastic.

Well, with no arrivals expected... I'm glad I went today.

You didn’t have to wait in line when you have an e-ticket or have a "friend of the aviodrome" pass

[phkza]

This morning people were allowed in at 9.30, so be early. Honestly I don't think people stood in line longer then they were in the museum. Was a good day. Lots of people outside the fences as well, which is no problem. Only thing is (the same as at Schiphol) some people don't understand traffic signs (no stopping means no stopping. Driving your car on the bicycle lane all the way to the baseline of the runway is a fine example of stopping.)

Mustang PH-JAT sufferd a very loud burst tire by the way, tail wheel tire had to be replaced.

But anyway, a good day, Photos in the phototopic.

[Fogg]

Again, I had a good day too. Thanks to the Aviodrome for bringing the P-38.

At 16:09 an Emirates A.380 crossed straight over the show. From my picture it appears to be A6-EDG, but not sure. Could anyone confirm?

[geert]

I know its not the absolute reliable source, but Casper also gives the A6-EDG as the one that was there at that time.

[marcel32us]

Thanks, in combination with the pic that'll do.
