I know it's a ways off, but is anyone planning on going, or went in '08? I found a way to get the Mrs off my back about going to London, and getting something out of it for myself. I'm already looking at dates and flights.
Just wondering if anyone's ever gone before. Funny thing is, one of my good friends in High School, grew up in Farnborough before moving across the pond, and they would take long vacations during the airshow week.
Not I. To much $$$ >:D
Actually, at least right now, you can get to London for amazingly low fares. Don't know what it's going to be like in July 2010, but a penny here, a penny there....

More to follow. Breakfast awaits.
<thumbsup>That Eurofighter is tight..nice shot
Impressive shot of that Eurofighter <thumbup> <thumbsup>
Other shots were great also.
Thanks... I haven't started yet. I tried to be frugal. Only filled on 16G, one 8G and half another 8G card.
Super Shots you got there! Man, Love that Vulcan! :o
WOW!!! The Euro Fighter is SWEET!!!
More A380 demo. What's the most amazing about the demo, even more than watching something this big pull G's, is the fact it's nearly dead silent.

Great shots! Someone miss their flight?
Delayed 2 1/2 hours due to a hydraulic leak. Started as "The mechanics need to replace a valve." Then it became "They need to replace the whole pump." And it finally came to "They need to pull the engine off, we're going to have to find another plane."
Nice Ken, thanks for those shots... 8)

I can't imagine wanting to fly that type of mission for 10 hours :-X Very cool aircraft though, I agree.
I have been waiting to see a good shot of the Air Tractor.
