My tastes these days have changed regarding airshows, I rarely go to Duxford and the like, instead I prefer the smaller more intimate airshows such as Woodchurch, Little Grandsden and Old Buckenham.
that’s coz you know which side your bread is buttered :p 😉 😀 🙂

The Bent Waters displays were excellent this year
Other than that the practice displays at Woodchurch were truely excellent particularly the Mustangs and the Hunter display.
Watching Gary Numan displaying the Yak11 some years ago at Earls Colne was great, the aircraft and the pilot really brought out the best in one another.

Hmm….
1) The 18-Spitfire flypast at Duxford, 1998. OK, so the 2000 one was bigger still, but the Spits all came over in one go – the sight and sound was awesome! Also managed to worm my way right up to the runway with my camcorder – I think that was the best part! 😀
2) Seeing OFMC’s Buchon and Spitfire IX going at eachother over East Fortune.
3) Seeing the main hangar at EF emptying when the BBMF came over – 2002.
4) Standing virtually beside the black Hurricane when she started up, again at East Fortune. I think that was 2001.
5) Watching Sally B for the first time, along with TFC’s P-47 “Fat Albert” – totally awesome 🙂

Ah, but did you get any pictures? 😉

I’ll think about aircraft bit. However, this years Legends, standing with Moggy, Kev, and Moggy’s tall mate, the lady in front in a short skirt bent right over and scrabbled about on the floor with no underwear on. That was enjoyable. She was quite fit too. Luckily it was a warm day.

Fond memories
Mine has to be the Good Old Day’s at Duxford.
Mustang Tail Chases so close you could almost touch them.
