Some i took this year. we were supposed to get an SU-22 and SU-24 but they cancelled a few days before the show. judging by the kill marks on those F-15's, it was a good thing though! what an aircraft. first time seeing one of these beasts in the flesh and what an awesome experience it was.

CC greatly appreciated. Unfortunately i had the sun pretty much in my face (subjects backlit) or in hiding on every day of the event. did my best to try bring some detail out.

Oustanding Series here...

Well Done.

I find the F-16 landing with the local architecture in the background particularly nice as well as Team Breitling with the moon in the frame. That's a great catch!!

Great set of shots! The sky in the last one would look better with some selective noise reduction I think.

I have an almost identical shot of the Breitling team taken at RAF Waddington earlier in the year!

Nice shots, love the one of the F16 with the flares going off.
