Oh for visitor numbers like that for an event – will there be a report appearing anywhere?

The Last Airfest is over and while the feeling is very bittersweet the event was a huge success. The day started off dicy with shaky weather but it all came together in the afternoon and Discovery Air Hawk One F-86 Sabre arrived in the middle of an already huge event to an excited crowd.
In the end a great event with rough numbers showing attendance around 10,000
Thanks to all that helped.
