It's a Dutch show where they stage the attack on enemy ground forces. So first there will be 2 "scout" F-16s flying across from both sides at maximum speed(of course they have to limit on these days [:P]) ...explosions... After that some apache choppers will cover ground...rounds of gunfire and explosions... Then Some troops and supplies get dropped by Cougars and Chinooks and "the enemy"gets arrested or whatever. After that a transportation plane, mostly Hercules, drops in to fly troops and equipment out. Choppers get out and at last the Apaches leave.
Anyway it's a pretty cool thing to watch with a lot of noise and big explosions, but I still prefer the solo-demos and teamdemonstrations.
It's also very very hard to get to the front to watch this all, because it's massively popular among children and really everyone else [:P]
And I just wanted to show you guys this:
There are a lot of people walking with amazing gear on these days. I mean a 100-400 isn't noticed anymore between all the big white lenses, but this one wasn't ignorable [:P]
