Six B-17s and a whole ton of warbirds including the CWH Hurricane operating off of Grass. Hot and Sunny all 3 days.

This year it would have to be Wings and Things at Woodchurch and the show at Old Buckenham, both of which are more intimate events with a fantastic content, Wings and Things would put most IWM Duxford events to shame with it’s range of aircraft, from WW1 to 50’s jets.

Duxford Battle of Britain airshow, 2000.
20+ Spitfires, a large number of flying Hurricanes (most I’d seen before!), not to mention Fokker triplane and SE5as.
Pity there were no Me109s/Buchons or ‘108s flying 🙁

I don’t mean to offend, but didn’t we do this question a month or two back? I seem to recall posting on the subject of the best airshow I’d been to.

Breckenridge, Texas airshow, all years (went to four of them)…always a ball, got air to air with 2 Corsairs and a Mustang, P-40, Grumman Albatross, 3 Wildcats, T-6’s, BT-13’s….it was an air to air paradise, and a great party, too. You could stand on the side of the runway as the planes took off until the FAA got involved, even then you were only 50 feet away while they came and went….always a good show, nice folks….Howard Pardue was always fun to watch, he danced with my partner’s daughter on numerous occasions….great guy.
I miss that show. This Corsair shot is from there….
