8th August 2016Looks like so much fun. I saw an airshow years ago and what they can do is amazing and scary at the same time. Nothing is better than live music. How lucky you are to experience it.

9th August 2016I know , it looks fascinating. But after I saw a horrible accident years ago in Germany , can’t remeber how many people died , I am a bit scared of these shows . Nevertheless , an amazing job the pilots are doing !
