Fairford Air Tattoo

[dogs32]

Had a realy good day yesterday at the airshow in Glos.

Unfortunately I dont know all the names of the aircraft of the pictures I took Im a more of an expert on WWII planes..

This is the first part of my pic's...

Will up load more tomorrow and then finally video's of slow motion..

Some of the pics were hard to take even in burst mode for clarity due to some to the speed the jets flew..

PLZ feel free if you know some of the names...

Ah, RAF/USAF Fairford...brings back lots of memories...spent many a good night there whilst posted at Brize Norton back in the late 80's/early nineties....Those Lockheed C5 Galaxies are absolutely huge....I actually once played basketball inside a C5 at Fairford, on a full size basketball court marked out inside the cargo bay by the C5 aircrew!

You want to pop up to RAF Cosford when you get chance and spend a day in the museum....all the planes under the sun, and its free entry making it unbelievably good value for money

Very good pics Pat

Fantastic photos, would have really liked to be there.

Great to see the new A400M was there as I believe this must be only its third flight and is still undergoing testing.

Seems as though there were quite a few USAF aircraft at the show.

[Marcus_surfer]

I love Fairford, thanks for posting the pictures.

[saint]

I am very jealous that you saw the Vulcan fly. I went to a airshow in Lincolnshire last year, and it was due to be it's first appearance in public for many years, it flew on the Saturday but when I went on the Sunday, technical problems meant it couldn't fly.

But some great photo's you have taken.

[dogs32]

thx for the comments guys..much appreciated..

loved the vulcan Saint....

my regret is the Lancaster Bomber couldnt fly due to the wind poor excuse I say
