Seems like they didn't prepare for the "slight" increase in traffic/load a livefeed could give :)

 

Service Unavailable (the whole website)

at this url you could watch an Italian airshow. There are aerobatic teams from throughout the world, plus Eurofighter and other aircraft. It's live streaming and should last from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm (GMT+1)

 

Very cool! :D . I watched it for about half an hour, but unfortunately it seems the site went down since then.

 

For those who couldnt get through - the airshow action is being streamed on a display at the top of the page and immedeatly below you have the program listings with the varies participants and the starting time for each display :) .

 

It is a great setup that I wish more airshows would pursue.

 

Cheers,

Never watched and airshow from the comforts of my home.

 

Hi all and Starlight.

 

Dammit. :icon_wink I was just going to check the boards and then get into a marathon session of LO/FC. Thanks BIGTIME for the link, I'll be watching this for awhile. It looks like the Red Arrows are up. Thanks again. -KILSEK

They didn't prepare for the real traffic too. I went to that airshow soon after posting that message. I arrived in time but car parkings were full, and there was a "service unavailable" also there ;)

I managed to park my car somewhere in the crop fields and I got to Rivolto AB by bike and on foot (about 6 km) like good'ol spotters used to do. I lost the first shows (Eurofighter and half of the Dutch F-16) but the Eurofighter made another in the late afternoon.

The airshow was absolutely great and the static display was also excellent. I took some 660 photos (I'll publish my "DACO" soon... who read a DACO book will understand...) and I also shot some videos.

 

Just to give an idea, the live display featured the main European aerobatic teams (from Italy, Spain, UK, France, Sweden and others), Eurofighter, Tornado, AMX, Draken, F-16, C-27, Mi-24 Hind and many others. The static display instead featured F-16s (many versions), a German F-4F Phantom II Tornadoes and most of the aircraft which flew in the airshow.

 

At the TV I heard that there were about 200,000 people, maybe even more (some said 400,000... seem exaggerated but there was really A LOT of people!!!!)
