Air Tattoo Photos
 

A selection of pics from my trip to RAF Fairford yesterday. It was an absolute scorcher, which was a pleasant change from last year's trip when it was heavily overcast all day with the occasional shower thrown in for good measure - which meant 'flat' routines for most aircraft and others that couldn't display at all. No such problems this time though, with over eight and a half hours of unrestricted flying.

some great shots you captured there! :bowdown:

Nice set of pics, thanks for sharing. I just got back this evening.

There were some star moments and items in the show, but sadly, the long awaited large formation of Typhoons was abandoned as the largest shower/storm we had was battering Swindon on Friday and we got some of the residue. Still we got a diamond nine ship instead. Luckily no incidents.

9 Typhoons all at once , have you not gone deaf !

I wear ear protectors and have done for years - we did have a lot of hardware this year.

9 Typhoons cruising over in formation make less noise than a single F-35 with its afterburner lit up. In fact it's the loudest fighter I've heard since the days of the EE Lightning and the F4 Phantom. :eek:

Superb pics, thanks for sharing them.

Luckily caught it flying out yesterday, amongst the other two hundred and twenty-six that I saw go out.

The C-47 flew over my house a couple of days ago before doing a 180 and doubling back - think it was heading to Wolverhampton Airport.

Sounded good. :cool:

Friday
 

I was there on Friday in the viewing village courtesy of my parents :bowdown:


Some utterly awesome flying and aircraft.

This made me chuckle ...a Jaguar TF done up like a WW2 fighter complete with rivets.....
Think Wendy would draw the line at that:duh
