First Shoday at Chongqing Airshow!

First showday is over! It started with nice weather, it was cloudy but very light and high. Everyone got prepare for flying, we Skycats put our makeup on and then... Then the rain started! It rained heavily and the sky got darker. The opening cermony started as planned with fireworks, then presentating all teams, the organization and also Chinas first astronout!
Then everybody was waiting. Rain capes where handed out to the visitors. Slowly the rain got more gently and first display could start! The rain was on and off during the hole show, we had to delay our wingwalking show. You dont look good after flying trough rain in200- 300 km/hour with uncovered face, everybody who skydives knows... So when it looked more steady and just a few raindrops coming we took off! We were really lucky! We could perform the hole show with loop and barrelrolls! :) (thats when you need most speed).
All planes where placed in a line in front of the crowd for display after flying. Skycats was posing and posing ;) Walking back inside the fence towards the hangar took looong time time, we where shaking hands, playing cats for the children and posing for never ending of photographing!
 
When the show was over for the day, Jacob and technicans had to work some with Python. Me and Sus (catwalk pilot) had a walk on the field taking photos of the cows living next to the runway, actually where we are flying!!
 
Tomorrow is Chinas national day and coming week is a holiday. I can hear firework outside my window, it never seems to stop ;)
