Thanks blackbox, remember how low that KC-97 was and that lovely French P-2 :grin:

Think this F-8 was the same year but the 104's must be later in the '70s.

Indeed this was at the 1977 show and I recall you couldn't get a fag paper between those barriers and that F-104 line-up, yet look at the acres of space around that group? :question: Impossible to photograph and had to return on the Monday when the barriers were removed! Do (R)IAT ever learn?

Great shots , oh for a time machine ! wouldn't mind going back to this era to see those birds.

That KC-97 with its boom extended is a bit to near the ground me thinks ! Not much margin for error there :sad:
