It is an excellent show and the VIP tickets are well worth it.

Gents.
A fantastic show.
I was going to put up a Log and Photo's.
But I can't beat the quality of the Log and Photo's on the SWAG website.

I have to agree on both accounts - the show and log / photos. The weather on the Sunday wasn't as good.
What doesn't come over in the shots of the flypast by the Govt. fly a/c was how low they were. Strewth.
The Spanish Hornet display was excellent - more than can be saif for the GAF Tonka, - a high speed pass, missed approach and then landing.

To support my comment about the low flyby see the pic below.
MiG-29AS 3709 and A319-100 OM-BYA
The black box at the bottom left is a PA speaker rig (height aout 8 ft) and you can just make out the top of someone's head midway along the bottom. Ordinarily, I'd Photoshop these out, but decided to leave them in to make a point.
A couple of others if anyone is interested.
Mil Mi-24V 7353 Czech Air Force
MiG-29 two-seater post-practise RTB
MiG-29UBS 1303 SL, Slovak Air Force[
and finally that Spanish Hornet I mentioned C15-57 / 12-15 Ala 12,

Glad you put the photo up to show just how low it was.

Jet Noise,
Have to agree that the airliners at Sliac (and Radom) were extremely, and impressively, low. Certainly something that we'll not see at a show this side of The Channel.
That Hornet pilot was amazing though. He must have come back from a squadron exchange on Flankers...

This is the reason I go to such shows & don't bother with ones in the UK. The Jordanian Falcons were also fantastic on both days with brilliant pilot skills. I was talking to the two RAF Typhoon pilots when the Spanish Hornet was displaying - the stopped talking & watched his display in awe.
