An easy and great way to get to the air show and see so much of the countryside. The coach was very good, always clean, and shiny, loved it, very comfortable indeed. 

The air show was a fantastic experience like no other and the weather cooperated fortunately. The gold pass tent was very comfortable. Seating outside provided excellent views.
