Sunderland air show

But if you are only really into commercial aviation, I can understand why this probably doesn’t appeal to EAL_KING and myself.

Same here, but I like to go to the local airports to see the movements.

Great that the event is put on for free every year.

Point being?

and its january now – correct?

July 24/25th

isnt the sunderland airshow in june or july every year!?!?

and some civilain acts.

They have been rare the past years

EAL, that’s a good 3-4 hours of flying. And it doesn’t cost you a penny.

And to answer your other point, it’s nothing like RIAT. RIAT is a military extravaganza with air forces from around the world sending aircraft. Sunderland is a small seaside show with afew military participants and some civilain acts.

here’s some pics
