Hi Steve, Just a note to say thanx to all involved in the Weston Park show. Even tho the weather wasn't great my friends and I had a fantastic time. This was our 1st time there. Dont know how the pilots kept going - superb flying & the best display that I have been to. Will definately be down again next year !! Cheers, Keith
Flanker, I agree with you that some aircraft look better without those 'pilots', especially as you mentioned, WW1 planes, but jets need something to make them look better. Maybe its because you can't see their faces !!
I will be going to Weston Park for the first time this year and have heard it is a great venue.Looking forward to it as I can leave 'er indoors at home for the weekend !
I agree with Barry about the tank needing to be empty. When filled it makes C.G move slightly forward, giving more stability. Take offs are normally under full power so extra weight shouldn't give any problems.
