Remembering the old days of The Great Warbirds, Fighter Meet etc they had an excitement a feel obviously long before the interweb and the instant gratification of knowing what is going on back then it was a poster and that gave you the heads up to what may be there.
We will never return to those days and as Denis has pointed out its that corporate feel that has maybe taken away some of today’s atmosphere times change and we have moved on and it looks like OW may just be the one that makes us slightly older ones feel a bit more comfortable.
I remember my excitement of seeing a Mustang, blimey that was something, spitfire aplenty at most airshows way back when ( well at least 1) but a Mustang!
The Jets in the 60s En masse 5, 10, 20 of them I am no jet fan but what I see then cannot be repeated now for many reasons.
Have I rose tinted on? Maybe
