How do you come to this conclusion?

It seems that you are the only one with this opinion.

maybe I'm been particularly fortunate with this edition but if u see the list of partecipants in this link
http://www.wolf-hirth.de/ott11_en/teilnehmer.php
I assure u I saw all of them, and more...the ju52s and antonov took off and landed at least 10 time each for touristic rides..
My previous experience in vintage airshow are 7 times Flying Legends. Ok in FL there are 7 spits, 7 P51, 3 skyraider, 3, Swordfish, 4 Hurri, 3 B17, 3 Corsairs the BoB memorial flight a lot of hangars/museums/workshops and 2 miles of stands selling everything but the ticket is 25 or more pounds and u pay apart for visit the flight-line (you stay on the tarmac but planes are 20meters away on the grass). It is undoubtely another dimension, as american airshows (oshkosh or chino I never saw). I think this worth all the 15€ I spent.

This is my first time at 'Hahnweide Oldtimertreffen' and I have to admit is quite better than Flying Legend in Duxford.
I post the link for those who don't know it.

more to add but.....how to add more than 5 files?

... I`m going there regularly for years already but in the past it was much better !

The display of the planes was much closer to the audience, the BF-109 and other planes that just appeared flying over the airfield this year, where on the airfield in the past years, taking off and landing there, even the B-25 ! This is the first year that the 109 did only come for a fly-by, it`s a pity.
So far it is correct to call it "worst airshow ever".

But nice to see some real warbirds from time to time, isnt it?

effectively me109, me262, giordanian falcon and spits displayed far away from center line, they exibit over wooden area near the airstrip and a bit high... P51 were ok, ok also seafury (great show)

... I remember years when you could watch the BF-109 or Mustang so close, you could look into the muzzle of their guns when they were roaring straight towards you, only a few meters off the ground.
You could even feel the propwash and smell the engine when they were passing over your head !

That was a feeling - hard to describe !!! But that was many years ago,...
