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.

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 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.

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.

Friday
I was there on Friday in the viewing village courtesy of my parents
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 image by Christopher Roy, on Flickr Last edited by Astraeus; 19th July 2018 at 14:30.. |
