RE: Display Routines-Fast and Low or Lots of Aeros?
Well, let’s remember how long that the BBMF aircraft have lasted-and will continue to last-fatigue wise, shall we? Then, when they are still flying around in 50 years time and a lot of the more energetic, private operators have grounded their aircraft for fatigue reasons, we’ll see who is ‘dull’.
There’s absolutely no need to fly your warbird around the sky like a muppet-I’ve paid to SEE the damn thing, after all!
Okay, if it’s one of those Spitfires where only the maker’s plate is more than 18 months old, fine, do with it what you will, but the more genuine warbirds out there should only ever be flown with dignity, and respect-not pratted about the sky. It’s ultimately wearing for the aircraft, and has also caused too many accidents in the past.
…and when I’m remembering 56,000 men of Bomber Command, or the young lads in the BoB, I’d like to do it without seeing excessive aerobatics set to stupid music!
Lastly, mass formations of every single available warbird on the continent to end a show have no appeal to me whatsoever-what’s the point, seeing so many disparate types crammed in and chugging along together? Nothing! Just a self-gloryfying pat on the back for certain shows, that’s all it is.
Bet my fatigue index is lower than yours!!!!
