the town which I live in has a population of approx. 25,000 people - this weekend we have had 55,000 visitors to see the RAF air show, the roads are chaotic and all our local green spaces have been given over to car parking!
http://www.shorehamairshow.com/ It has been an amaxing show - the best part was the re-enactment of a WWII dog fight, complete with Spitfires and gun fire - so cool. The jets are loud, the harriers are awesome, the wing walkers are insane and when I grow up I want to be a chinook pilot ;)
