Okay, i know you lot seem to get fed up of Legends threads, but i’m a bit curious about it as i’ve never been before. 2006 should be a great year for me, i’ll have a car before too long so i can go to all the airshows and museums i’ve wanted to without having to rely on family members being free and willing to take me, one of the reasons why i should be helping the TFC on their Beaufighter.
At Legends, is the flying very intense, ie an aircraft pretty much constantly flying, or are their long breaks between displays? Also, do aircraft only fly in formations, or do aircraft such as the HAC Hurricane do a solo display and in a formation later on in the show?
Cheers in advance, can’t wait to go it looks like a great event

Did we have a Havard over here that was turned into a zero?

I hope that question has no relation to the first post in this thread 😮

I’ve just got this years legends booking leaflet throught the post and there is a hellcat and a ZERO on the front! Does this mean a zero may be coming over from the states? Or is the TFC just getting our hopes up!

would be nice, the zero tends to be one of the top 3 in those ‘what would you like at legends’ thread. should be some show, with the potential for all those new machines that they have acquired being there.
The question is, where are they gonna put them all? :diablo:

could be, a couple of years ago the Hurricane IV was on the cover of the leaflet, and that was before we knew the TFC had a hurricane IV under restoration…

I’ve been to Legends 2004 and 2005 and they’ve been excellent experiences both times. As already said, it’s an unforgettable experience and you will enjoy it 😉

Take yourself off to legends if you want. Then, and this is important, form your own opinion of the show don’t just take on-board the opinions of others. They may know the colour of socks any particular pilot is wearing when zooming in his Spit-tang or whatever, but your own impressions are what counts in the long run.
If by some chance you happen to get to Waddo next year come across to the Canberra Assoc flight line enclosure, I’ll let you in and we’ll make you welcome. You can mingle with and talk informally to blokes who actually flew with the RAF in the days we had a proper air force – Cans, Vulcs, Shacks, Victors, Lightnings, Hunters, Buccs, etc. You may just get more than you bargin for though as they’re not easy to shut-up when in the “There I was . . ” mode!!
