The part about flying legends future looking bleak, its pointless to point fingers at anyone atm, wait for the official investigation.

*I may have taken your post the wrong way it sounded like you wanted flying legends shut, sorry if i got the wrong impression.

Its ok mate no harm done at all. I love Flying Legends but its clear that they need to make major changes to the situation. The reason i say bleak is because the CAA has major issues with the way the show has been operated for a long time.
It will be a big blow for aviation if the worst happens, but i think they'll struggle through it, i just hope they change their setup and make it safer rather than cram too much into too shorter time slots.

I have to say it was the one thing i didnt like, actually there were 2

1: You have airplanes taxiing past you after their flight while others are doing theirs, you want to hear what a lot of birds sound like in flight but in a lot of cases the sound is drowned out by aircraft taxiing in front of you which is pretty much the whole length of where spectators stand so it affects everyone

and

2: please commentators be quiet when aircraft are doing flybys, it seems that they are only quiet when its infront of the tower and forget that the spectators stand goes along a 300/400m stretch which have speakers all along it, if youve got a speaker anywhere near you, you tend to spend most of the time hoping they are not going to speak when you see your favorite bird making a dive..

this is my second time and like youve suggested they need and i do hope they revise what there doing..all said though i had a great day
