Farnborough 2014 - how much??

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

If they're charging £45, presumably they've got excess demand and are actively trying to deter people? They've certainly deterred me.

Friday is cheaper,but I love how the airshow organisers are mum on what is actually flying!!

Hexus meet for Eastbourne Airbourne sounds good and I could give you a lift Cat.

That would be a plan.

We all know it won't be the F-35......

True.

45 quid now? Crikey, no thanks. What used to be a good value day out is now just another money-grabbing tourist attraction.

Should be some 787-9 there!

Should we do this officially and get a Hexus.SOCIAL person to arrange it, or just PM each other our details and arrange a day to go down there and where to meet?

That is some bad-ass performance for a dirty heavy plane!

Whatever is easiest??

OTH,the slight issue is you might need to meet me...!

[Allen]

Meet you because you don't know the area? Or because you're a moose?

Well, I am sure we can make more solid arrangements closer to the time, but maybe meeting at the pier would be a good start? It's a bit hard to miss that even if you don't know the area!

You can arrange it - post a HEXUS.meet or HEXUS.social thread (or whatever thread title you prefer) in General discussion, and then describe what it is. We haven't had a meet up for.... ages!

(Cat should be easy to find - just look for the antlers..... )

It seems there is confirmation of no F35:

Due to the ongoing problems there are less Russian exhibitors too:

Only civilian planes this year it seems.

So,why is the airshow £45 again??

[TheAnimus]

There is going to be the citation fighter thou, interesting budget craft.

But yes, I'm shocked.... Shocked that a hodge podge of different requirements, many often diametrically opposed, make it hard to make the thing anything but a lemon.

The Paris air show seems to be a better event now IMHO.

A huge number of people this year viewed from the basingstoke canal section alongside Fleet Road, there were leagues of heads among the bushes in the MOD land to the left of the road and a swarm over by the fence on the other side.
