THE PARYS AIRSHOW – A WONDERFUL NEW MODEL.

COMMENTATOR BRIAN EMMENIS of Capital Sounds waxed lyrical, saying that it was, “The best airshow he has seen in his 38 years of airshow broadcasting.” He says that the show was ground-breaking in that it was the first real digital airshow: where people could secure their place at an airshow with limited capacity by booking online.

After the long drought of airshows caused by the Covid pandemic, the need for an airshow was such that many people had to be turned away at the gate. Insurance requirements had limited the show to 3500 spectators and such was the demand, even from online bookings, that this was soon full.

The spectators got more than their money's worth. The standard of flying and the range and variation in the performances was striking. The displays ranged from the Tiger Moths and Chipmunks all the way up to a Top Gun themed L-39 jet display.
