My housemate, John and I went to Seaburn to watch the airshow which was quite a hit recently since more and more people are watching it every year. So I thought it would be worth to watch waiting and walking there. The night before we checked the weather which was fine and sunny. The next morning we took a metro to Seaburn and walk towards the beach (following the crowd to be exact) where it was held.
As expected, huge crowds turned up on the metro and the beach. I have never seen the beach crowded with so many people. There was a lot of booths on display which almost all of them belonged to the RAF (Royal Air Force). I think they are desperate in recruit people as they are advertising everywhere you can think of. They had the Red Arrows plane (fake), Harrier Jumpjet (fake) and a Chinook CH-47 helicopter (real) on display. They also showed the cannons and missles used on their jet fighters. There is food stands everywhere mainly selling what Britons loves most (potato chips). They had 4 flying simulators on where you step in for free. Next is a video of the Red Arrows in action.
They did have a F16 fighter in action but we didn’t have enough time to shoot a video of it. It was extremely quick and loud. They borrowed it from Netherlands though..hehe. Then they had a demonstrations with the Spitfires and some other planes seen in Pearl Harbour (the movie).
I recently stumbled on this piece of video (an F/A-18 Hornet) as part of the festivities for the American Power Boat Association Gold Cup. See video below.
And another video showing it doing a Sonic Boom!!!
Maybe the Sunderland Airshow 2010 should have a show likes this..hehe.
The blue hue of the moon! Cloudy…so try again.
