RAF Air Tattoo Fairford 17-7
Went to Fairford today. In the beginning the weather was cloudy, not many photo oppertunities. Later on it became a bit better.
Here some pics
I found the static a bit dissapointing for such a large (and expensive) airshow, lot's of the same. 8 F-16's, 6 Tornado's, 4 C-130, 4 Harriers etc etc. The Americans however made an effort. Especially the BUFF was niiiiice
Dutch Air Force doing at what they are good at
What I came for
Ok out of focus, but still liked the shot
Sidewinders!
High speed pass, but my lense just can not cope what that high speed stuff
The BUFF
I must say the Apache had the most boring demo ever! No one was watching (maybe the fact that the Vulcan was taxying by and the B-52 was circling in the back had something to do with it)
OK crappy shot, but it's not every day that I get these two in one shot in front of my camera
All in all still a good day, with a happy ending

I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.

Re: RAF Air Tattoo Fairford 17-7
Nice try with the shots, unfortunatly the UK-audience really favor their history so indeed all attention goes to the Vulcan instead of the AH-64 (the most spectacular helie demo this year to be seen ) ... Other thing that really kills the spirit is the ban on flares (but this comes with a reason).Thermal wrote:I must say the Apache had the most boring demo ever!

Better change the title to RIAT 2010, so all pictures can go in one topic.
Here one of the Raptor on Friday:

Re: RAF Air Tattoo Fairford 17-7
To me, one of the best ones at the static:
And ... great demo, never saw this kind of flying before!
2 for now, more will follow probably:

Re: RAF Air Tattoo Fairford 17-7
I also took the 4Aviation coach. We were extremely fortunate with the weather in the afternoon. Almost clear skies and nice temperatures.
Thanks to all who joined us.
A couple from the static.
With a bit of patience some decent shots could be made.
And a few from the birds in the sky.
'Switching to guns'
Always impressive.
Highlight of the show.

The Apache manoeuvres were very exciting and unique for a helicopter. A helicopter is, however, much slower than a jet. The demo team tried to please everyone by performing a manoeuvre on either end of the long runway and this took way to much time. They should have centred their show at show centre, in the middle.I must say the Apache had the most boring demo ever! No one was watching (maybe the fact that the Vulcan was taxying by and the B-52 was circling in the back had something to do with it)
