Talk:air display

RFC discussion: July 2007–December 2010
Random combination of words, or a regional equivalent of air show? --Connel MacKenzie 20:49, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * To me an air display is a performance of aerobatics, etc. (more than just a fly-past) at an event that is not an air show. For example I went to the British Grand Prix (Formula One) a few years back, and there were air displays by the Red Arrows (Sunday) and the Blue Eagles (Saturday). An airshow being an event where aircraft are the primary focus - e.g the Royal International Air Tattoo. Thryduulf 21:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That's pretty much my understanding too. Although the term might sometimes be used synonymously with "air show", that doesn't seem to fully capture the meaning. For example, as you say, a performance at a Grand Prix would normally be called an "air display", not an "air show". In the UK anyway. Matt 00:17, 16 July 2007 (UTC).
 * Alrighty then, moving to WT:RFC instead. --Connel MacKenzie 05:19, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
