The Farnborough Air Show starts next week. I've heard about it for years, really decades since I've been working in the defence industry. I would have never thought I'd be here in person to see it. In case you haven't heard of it, its a huge airshow where thousands and thousands of people come to watch the skies. I believe its celebrating 100 years of aviation this year and apparently you can see everything from the first planes to the latest, greatest ones.
I happen to be in Farnborough today and while walking to lunch, I saw a smaller plane flipping through the skies. They've started practicing for the airshow and this particular plane looked like what I can do with a tiny remote control (RC) plane. Its not easy to do the flips he/she was doing even in an RC plane, let alone a real plane with a real person. This is going to be good :)
I hear from the locals that we need parking passes and I hear its quite difficult to get into the show. The ticket prices have doubled since last year and free/shared passes don't seem to be an option. We'll make it work somehow!
