You've got the right idea Paul - miss a c17 at BFS so just take a holiday to make sure you get one!

Enjoy the sun.

I'm very fond of Malta, both as a an aviation enthusiast and as the place of my birth! :) Truth is though it's a bit manky the last few times I was there! I'd love to go for the Airshow though, and a nice shot of the C-17!

Malta is lovely,well most of it-some parts,like St.Julians Bay is just like someone dropped part of Ibiza or some of the Greek party towns on it :o
 
Full of horrible drunk English scumbags swearing and boakin` and generally being highly obnoxious.
