Duxford American Air Day 09

Postby Thumper » Mon Nov 02, 2009 11:06 pm

I missed Eastbourne and Shoreham Airshow this year so I could go to this and it was well worth it, something very different!

I was standing at the end of the runway (gave up queueing after 2 hours of waiting) and the Sabre and Mustang gave me heart failure, it was the most amazing experience ever!!! \:D/

I would give you the YouGayTube link but they wiped all the sound and music off it! ~x(

It's about 25 Megabytes to download it, I just click the link and WMP opens it up automatically.

Defenestration is the act of throwing someone or something out of a window


I am SO confused right now :))

I like Duxford too but this year and Airshows was NOT good.

Soggy Sunday at RIAT, Soggy Duxford USA Day, Soggy Silverstone WAC, Soggy Duxford Autumn Airshow.... Turweston was a scorcher though, freak of nature event or something!
