I made my “debut” at Legends this year and I loved every minute of it. From earlier comments I understand that it may have been a “lesser” show than previous ones, but for me, a Dutchy, it was an outright success.
The commentor did not bother me. In Holland, we have to make do with two total nitwits at the airshows….. Only thing which could improve is a transit bus to the Whittlesford parking station…
I brought along a few newgoers as well, and they were in awe. They didn’t notice if it was a bit thinner than normal. How could they? It’s all relative this stuff. I said “only six Spitfires” a few pages back and some guy got annoyed. I said “only” because it’s lower than normal. Compared to a random European show, or let’s say a Swedish show, six Spits are heaven. However “only six Spitfires” is a relative term as Legends usually fill up with around 8-9. In the end, we got seven. Wonder why the Kent Spit didn’t fly though?
Also wonder where all the Hurris have gone. Vachers, Monks, Shuttleworths and HAC’s Hurris were nowehere to be seen. They could have broken some kind of Hurricane record this year. However, we live in tight financial times. It’s not a complaint, but rather a reflection on the state of Legends.
So surprised to see ML407 fly, it was the highlight for me. I had been waiting to see it for so long flying at Legends.
