Shame about the weather. I was looking forward to this show. It got so bad at one point they cut short the displays & cancelled the Hunter completely. Cry

None of my shots came out very well. Here's a few of the better ones.

Belgian Air Force F-16.

RAF Tornado. GR4 (I think.)

Navy Lynxes dancing. Very clever.

No description necessary. First time I've seen this lot this year. Wink

I was quite chuffed to get that last one. 8)

Glad you got the tornado and F-16, i was just walking through the door as the F-16 took off and by the time i was in a position for any shots he was pretty much done, The tornado went up while we were busy with some statics so again no shots:(
Great shots of the arrows and Lynx:)

Who cares about the quality of a photo? Photo is photo, a proof that you've been there and had a good time,nothing more,nothing less.
Every photo that has at least a bit of clarity is a good photo. And according to that,your photos are so good that I just can't put it in words. Wink

In the UK this year there where 68 big airshows with 1 more to go at Duxford.

May = 7
June = 12
July = 21
August = 18
September = 10
Octorer = 1

Plus a lot of Flyins
Most of them within 100 miles of where I live.
For a price I might rent out my spare room for the summer next year.

Just to rub it in here's a list of major air shows & fly-ins in the UK this season. http://www.aeroflight.co.uk/shows/showdate.htm

I've been to quite a few of them, sometimes 2 different events over a weekend. I'm lucky to live within a couple of hours drive of a lot of these airfields. I'll go almost anywhere but a 3-hour drive is my limit these days. Driving is no longer a pleasure & 6 hours on the British roads is enough for anyone in one day. Roll Eyes
