Eurostar – thanks for the link to my pics (wondering why the hits had gone up) I have a lot more to add when I get the chance)
It is definately worth making a rough plan and sticking to it – my ‘wanderings’ over the week were as follows
Monday – brief look round trade show on route to aeroshell square, go to warbird area via homebuilts. Book flight on Trimotor, walk round warbird area, have flight, watch afternoon airshow.
Tuesday – walk through trade show (different route today) – aeroshell square, turn right towards vintage area, walk up one side to the end (past seaplane shuttle stop – a long way) head back doing the microlight area + remaining vintage rows further from runways
Wednesday – wx was a bit cloudy so headed to museum + booked Bell47 flight
followed by RV area + north parking (parallel to runway)
Thursday – tour of Basler facilty and was dropped off by terminal – walked back (airside) from there to a point near Hilton Hotel when I caught a shuttebus back to warbird area. The shuttlebus are the school buses and run to all the aircraft parking area on that side of the runway – very handy.
Friday – seaplane base for a while, back to main area to see Blue Angels flypasts. Met up with friends and watched afternoon show.
Saturday – aircraft saturation point reached by now – quick look at warbird to find quite a few had departed. Back vis tradeshow & shops. Found good spot on crowdline and watched show.
As the bus meeting point was away from the show area it was a good idea to vary the route taken to/from the show as there were often aircraft ‘lurking’ in some of the tents. Some of the EAA museum aircraft are also to be found in some of the temp buildings.
Janie – I did not find it that hard not to get people in the pictures – the Warbird area can be tricky, patience is need or you can always go and photograph something else and come back later in the day.
