I attended for a good 2 years at airshows as pilot/crew of a Tiger Moth trio, and we were often asked to park near to the audience, as we always allowed people to come near, have pics, make questions etc… It’s one of my most favorite moments, since some people have an incredible imagination, and above all it gives u an idea of what’s the real interest and knowledge of people. Three pearls from the last time I attended one:
1)The most common, pointing the finger to the flag and roundels “why it’s an english plane and has french insignas”?
2)A child to his friend, pointing at the Sperry compass “Look! They even got radars on!”
3)A dad to his son, pointing the Venturi “U see the machinegun there?”
4)My favorite, because it has been said by a self-declared aeronautical engineer.. pointing the finger at the windy on the left wing strut and talking to his girl”u see? that is a G-meter, which is supposed to measure the G load of the plane!”
