My pictures of 1998, part 6: Fairford (Airshow, CIV/MIL)

Post by LifelinerOne »

Goodmorning,

despit the lost films, I still had an odd twenty pics of the airshow. Unfortunately most of the fighters are gone. However, some larger planes were developed. Here's an impression.

Good looking EC-130 on take-off:
