I went to one of the air races a few years back in London, the paid seating was worse than the free viewing spots in Budapest, I only had a point and shoot camera too and came away with no shots worth showing. This time though..
A different story. There was also an aerial display from the Breitling Jets, apparently the only privately owned team of the sort.
I was very happy to get pictures where you could see the pilots looking at each other's aircraft.It's a crazy sport and very exciting to watch, suffers in the same way as Rally, or Downhill Racing does because there's only one competitor to watch at a time, you don't see one directly competing against the other, still it's insane, a four cross version would be unreal, and deadly.
