I usually like to see something which I haven’t seen before. It isn’t necessary that I see x amount of spitfires, or the balance of fighters is less than last year etc.
Seeing something new (yes, Dutch connie please), or a different presentation (pyros maybe), would probably keep the majority of us enthusiasts pleased.
Yes, I am grateful for what we have now, as this may not be the case tomorrow. Who knows what the economies for running these warbirds are going to be in the future, or potential legislation which may harm the entire movement. Enjoy it while we can.
Ways in which Legends could be improved have already been mentioned, but here are my views (I know, some may be impractical):
1. Drop trhe obtrusive music during flypasts.
2. Better catering.
3. More use of static aircraft hauled out from the museum into the daylight, perhaps pitched in a diorama setting (say, Lancaster with bomb trolley, scaffolding near an engine-you get the picture. Or, a fighter on steel matting surrounded by sandbags, or…
…the possibilities go on.
4. Pyros.
5. An ‘unobtrusive!’ temporary grandstand, similar to RIAT (do they still do it?). Not sure where, may be near the Superhanger. For an extra fee, would give great photo opportunites. Also solves the stepladder problem!
6. Flightline photo bus or similar (RIAT again).
Just my ramblings!
