They're all really good but I like the Breitling ones and the Falcons most, they're particularly awesome! :biggrin:

It was at LBA, I was at the graveyard which is up on the hill near the bunker.

What a great thread - can't believe I've only just discovered it. So much in here to admire - great stuff chaps.

Just the one from the Skyflash archives - actually a relatively (!) big plane but I've attempted to make him look small. From Leuchars departures day last year; one of several passes over the airfield which ye olde Buff treated us to:

The departing B-52 at Leuchars never lets you down. It's become a real feature of Leuchars Mondays - and hopefully long may it continue.

Skyflash - where are you?

I'm in Musselburgh, sitting at my PC! :grin:

I'm not actually in that shot, for the simple reason that I was standing on the other side of the road up at the perimeter of the base.

I hope civil airliners are OK in this post - judging from some other shots I wont be shot :oops:

Some absolute stunners among them here, in what is probably my favorite post here so far. Here three from my archives:

In Lambourne hold:

Inbound Miami:

Thanks everyone. You sure know how to make a guy blush! :oops:

I used to do some semi-pro motorsports stuff for car clubs and went to Sunderland in 2007 without any previous airshow experience. As hard as I try, I just can't quite get this airshow stuff licked. But I'll keep trying! And I'll enjoy the good stuff when it comes along.

Macc's Lanc shot is outstanding as well - like he's somehow nicked the Delorean off Marty and the Doc and taken a DSLR back to 1943! :clap:
