~off topic…. the article is spot on, and yep.. I’m minding the office single handed tomorrow, so drop in if you can~
Back on subject, it is a good point that the ‘Jet Legends’ idea looks like a complete financial nightmare, but then, today, starting from a blank sheet of paper, anybody proposing the Flying Legends concept would be told the same thing. What ‘legends has is the established reputation to attact a large audience to part with a significant ‘once a year’ handful of cash, knowing that, failing a complete washout/thunderstorm, they WILL NOT GO HOME DISSAPOINTED. it is this reputation that holds the whole thing together.
The challenge for a jet version would be to establish this kind of solid reputation, thinking about it more the idea of a fast/pointy/loud/with twinkly lights jet show might even be more appealing to the general public as well as the enthusiasts who can identify jets by their ‘blue note’.
This actually makes for quite a good debate, with my point of view thrown in from the ‘blinkered youthful enthusiasm’ corner. Don’t worry, I’ll learn, some day….
