B52 had ~~engine~~ ejector seat (thanks mark Wink

) problems so no BUFF display, but I did get a few of the static....B1B was present as was the F117 in the flying line up.

BUFF static

The beast awakens....C5 opening its nose

Love the pic of the Bone. What resolution is the full-size image? I think I may have found a new desktop background...

Very nice pictures the only USAF bomber i have seen is the B-52 and i couldn't get up close because i ~~can~~ can't fly Shocked

We only had about 2 flyby's from the B-52 then bon vouyage (SPELLING!?!?!) at AValon Airshow

You are lucky you get to see so many great aircraft such as F-22 and all those bombers and fighters Wink

I wish i could have seen the F-117 and B-1B because i have the Alpha models on FSX and love them...... Wonder what the Nighthawk is getting replaced with Suppose the F-22 or F-35 Huh

By the way Nice camera wish i had the 1 mil second shot i hav a delay camera Undecided

Oh well

When the "bone" landed and was taxing off the runway there was that guy behind my mate (in a white top a bit to the right of you Mic) and he was like 6ft 2 and my mate is like 5ft so he took at photo of it taxing then he said. "I only got the rear end beacuse those fu**ing kids are in the way". Even tho the camera was clearly way above our heads, and we were at the front.

By the way nice shots there.

Wow... Impressive B-1!

The Stealth-fighter... about the only plane that can't fly without it's computer... hardly aerodynamic, but still great to see.

LOL great pics mic.

The USAF has one frontline combat aircraft (fixed wing) which is under 25 years old (original design)!

By comparison, the poor RAF has two and a half*!

*The Tornado F2/3 is under 25 years old but is related far too much with the original Tornado MRCA to count fully! Grin
