I cant wait! in 7 days im going to an aero expo! It is in germany, we are travelling by my friend sheldon's dads TB20 N113AC! I have a list on what aircraft i want to see there:
Robinson R66 (its an R44 with a turbine!)
MD500D
Epic Victory
Eurofighter Typhoon (i have seen one fly at southend airshow, what an astonishing machine!)
Piper Cub
Glasair III

When i think of more il let ya know. Also, they have a HUGE hangar devoted to R/C Aviation!!! Spending money is crucial!

And what a surprise-we didn't see any of them! The R66 you will have to go to Oshkosh for, Glasairs' are not exactly common, in Europe anyway, you say the Eurofighter is an astonishing machine... It may well be, but in a dogfight, 10 times out of 10 the F-22 Raptor would win - more manuverable and extremely stealthy. Epic too are american, but there is no chance of seeing one as Epic went into liquidation during the recession. Although i think they have come back now. The MD500 and Cub are not that common, say not as common as a 172, but still to generic to be at a show.

Nice flight, i fell asleep on the way there and back! Unfortunately getting there took us about 4.5 hrs and 4 hrs getting back...
