Hi
We had a nice airshow (Tampere International Airshow) 14-15th 2010 of August here in Tampere EFTP.
Check
http://www.tampereairshow.fi/en/start
During that wonderful sunny weekend there were 30.000 visitors.
Most loved were Midnight Hawks (4x Bae Hawks with very tight formation by Finnish Airforce) and F-16 Solo Team (by Royal Netherlands Airforce).
Of course Mustang was great as usually (unfortunately pilot Bertil Gerhardt got killed in a crash in Norway just a week after the show) as was Closter Gauntlet (only one in the world) and Fouga Magister with DC3.
Our tent - The Europa hangar - is beside the main ground exhibition area. Europa OH-XRT was pulled out and there was a sign which told My Europa´s story. Me or some of my friend was always there trying to give answers for thousands of questions people made during that show.

Some of you may remember: I got married just 10 years ago 15th of August 2000.
I had just finalized my rudder and tailplanes and got a wonderful wife to help me to build the rest of the plane.
Rest is history: we got two daughters and a flying plane.
When the Airshow was almost finalized our 10th Wedding Days were started!
That was a wonderful time...much of good friends and relatives, tasty food and cool drinks and some show time also.
We got some "surprise visitors" like Finnish Airforce with around 30 pilots.
Their present was a VERY low by pass performed by a new Casa 295-M transport plane and an invite to their base in EFKA.
Also RNLAF visited us - look at the attached pic and also

Those boys really liked our Samba Girls!
It was a magic way to have a family festival surrounded all that avion theme.
Terveisin, Raimo Toivio
