Thanks for the find
Wonderful pics there.
I love it how you guys manage to get fire and bombs at an airshow, can't ever imagine that here

Great link, awesome photos. Thanks for sharing.
But it's a shame they did not show the 'business' end of Spooky.
And I love how the military thinks of everything, like 'REMOVE BEFORE FLIGHT'.
But my favorite is the 'FRONT TOWARD ENEMY' on a Claymore.
Love the livery on the U2, might have to try to duplicate that.
If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

I petition to get that changed to "Smile"...

Exactly! You get my vote.

Wonderful pics there.
I love it how you guys manage to get fire and bombs at an airshow, can't ever imagine that here
The best I've seen are petrol bombs and other small explosives pre-laid into the ground. They do that at a good number of airshows here in the UK. Still quite impressive looking, but a real bomb drop would be so much cooler.
I shall give those photos a check

I imagine these are all air show pyrotechnics.

I don't think they would be allowed to drop real bombs even at an air show in Texas.
We might not have anything quite as spectacular in the UK but last season's
RAF Role Demo
used similar effects. Also the RAFA Show at Shoreham.

Yeah I saw the RAF Role Demo at Southport and it was quite impressive. When the Apache came along they fired off smaller explosives in the sand to immitate the guns shooting at the floor.
I didn't know that they had companies set up just for airshow pyrotechnics, but I suppose it makes sense.
