as there was already a topic with static show pictures, I have decided to limit myself of sharing a few from Departure Monday.
1. The day kicked-off with the two CH-47Fs from the KLu departing, with D-483 flying across the runway to couple up with D-603:

3. Next to the special liveried S208M, there was also this MM61936 present:

5. Saudi Hawks departing:

6. U-2 80-1096/BB was being towed from the static to a hangar on the North side of the airfield. Because of the strong winds there were 2 people on both wings to keep them from flexing-up:

7. Such a great classic heli!

8. But the modern ones are enjoyable and impressive as well as CV-22B 11-0061 proves:

9. The MB-339NATs of Al Fursan left Fairford to return after a while as they were denied entry in the French airspace. Later they seemed to have fixed it and left again:

10. Personal highlights for me where the Spanish and Italian Harriers, like this TAV-8B MM55032 of the Italian Navy:

11. The Italian Air Force was present at RIAT due their 100 year's anniversary, including a few planes featuring a special AMI 100 years tail, as shown by this Eurofighter CSX7352:

13. Another cool oldie was this Phantom 01518 of the Hellenic Air Force. This one also left and returned as access to French airspace was initially denied:

19. I only have been able to photograph one Su-22 of the Polish Air Force in my life and, unfortunately, it was this 8309. So no new one but still a great aircraft:
