Suggestion for the organization / Registration form

If the organization is using the same procedure (fill in your name etc on the registration form) for the entrance at the airbase, maybe they can place the registration form online so all the people visiting KB can fill in the form at home so the throughput can go faster than the previous years.

Just a thought

I would think an option to buy the entry ticket online (like the sanicole airshow) in combination with an online registration form would also improve the entry speed (or more ticket boxes on base, instread of the two previous event).
But whatever is decided, I will be there.

I think we just have to be lucky that they organise a spottersday at all.
So when i have to wait at the gate so be it.
It's always better than no spottersday at all. :chips:

Hear Hear! ;-) :cheers:

But there is a point of truth though. Putting registration forms online will help processing at the gate. If not, sell fries and beer at the entrance ;-) Helps alleviate the tedious waiting ;-) <But will have a negative effect on the sharpness of photo's during the day>

I would consider this highly unlikely, but something the Belgian organisers might just be willing to try.
Don't forget, the SW guys will have their exercise schedule already set, leaving no time for another exercise like Tiger Meet 09.

Very impressive list ......now we only need five more countries to make the list complete if you look to participating countries.

And three of those countries are just european ones ; Turkey, Greece, and Austria.

The other two; India and the US , are not that common in the Tiger Meets in europe.

Rgds,

Would prefer Polish Su-22's, but I'm not even sure the Polish actually do have a tiger squadron at all?
