I went to an airshow in Dublin today. It's late so I will put more up about it tomorrow but one of my girlfriend's friends was piloting this.
[Edit]
It was a fairly interesting day, although the traffic was a lot worse than we had anticipated, causing us to be late. We were within five hundred metres of the bus stop for about half an hour, but since we weren't at the stop we couldn't get off. Combined with the buses and trucks next to us on the road, we couldn't actually see any of the planes on the bus.
Other than that though, it was good. The majority of the planes didn't do anything other than just fly past, but there were a few different types.
Probably the one that I was most interested in seeing was the B-17 Flying Fortress, but there were also a few older small jet planes.
There were also a few airliners, including an A380, although since I have already flown on one of those I wasn't as excited to see it as I might have been.
Since I was on the bus I think I missed the C130, although it could sometimes be hard to tell which type of planes they were so I may have actually seen it.
The planes, combined with the fact that I managed to get a few rarely-seen-in-Ireland chocolate bars means that the day was quite good.

i have recurring dreams of flying the f-14. in the dream, i taxi from my front yard to the main street and commence takeoff..
SO, when an airshow comes to town it's a big thrill =)
Also, hello Pepper, long time no see.
Right now studying PART-66 B1.1 Aviation Mechanic :), I probably get to tinker with your work then!
