Your favourite image from 2016!
Re: Your favourite image from 2016!
My favourite of 2016, after seeing on Twitter that PA474 had flown in the morning and due to fly again that afternoon I took the drive along to Coningsby, after many hours of waiting she taxi'd out too line up on the runway, then we heard the roar of her merlins as she lifted off and I stood with the biggest grin seeing her back in the air once again. We were treated to some spectacular passes and some stunning top sides in glorious sunshine

I had especially bough the Sigma 150-600 S for this season (Ferté + Silverstone + RIAT + Duxford), and I took my favorite shot at 150 mm !

I was pleased to see the MiG 15 for the first time at the Duxford Autumn show, and was happy with this one.
Many thanks to everyone for posting some great photos on this thread

Hard to pick a favourite, but shooting a IL-76 at night was a pleasure.

Raptor at RIAT 2016. I don't take a lot of aircraft photos but this one was the most dramatic that I have taken this year. And when showing people pics of airshows I have attended, this one draws the most attention.

This is my favourite from last year.
Taken at the Boultbee Collection down at Goodwood Aerodrome. I was lucky enough to win a tour of "The Shark" Mustang in a UKAR competition, and this was taken just after the tour had finished as the Spitfire and Mustang departed on paid flights for a couple of lucky [Insert Appropriate Word Here]!!

Some absolute stunners on here from 2016, let's hope 2017 throws up some more excellent imagery.
Here's mine from Shuttleworth's race day.

My image for 2016, a Ryan SCW.
Lovely looking aircraft and never seen one before, still at Lee airfield tucked away in a Hanger.

Swiss Hornet during the Belgian Air Force Days at Florennes. Normally I would have chosen some kind of warbird as a favourite, but I just like the action going on in this one.

Probably my favourite has to be of the display jet and spare splitting at Bournemouth Airport in August

Re: Your favourite image from 2016!
Tricky one; went to a few different events last year, ground runs and taxis as well as photoshoots instead of making it an all-airshow year. I got some great shots from the Coningsby Photoshoot held in March but I was also well chuffed that the No1 School of Technical Training at Cosford chose, out of all the images tweeted on the day, one of my images of XX119 from the taxi day in August as their banner image - small fish I know, but it made my day! I would choose that image but as it was HDR, you'd all be running for cover!
However, I really enjoyed the fast taxi twilight shoot at Bruntingthorpe in November, and I've plumped for an image of lightnings - I like the atmosphere this image conveys in black and white.

Here's mine, taken at BAF Days Florennes arrivals: F-16AM FA-129 leads 2 unmarked F-16AMs and Spitfire IX MH434 as part of 350 Sqn BAF's 75th anniversary celebrations. MH434 served with the squadron in 1944. Both FA-129 and MH434 wore code MN-B representing that worn by MH434 in squadron service. FA-129 went into the static for the show days.

Korean Peoples Army Air Force MiG-21bis Fishbed by Sam Wise, on Flickr
This was the first time I'd seen a MiG-21 moving under its own power. And for it to be North Korean, of all things, was truly and astonishingly spectacular. Such a beast of a machine. So for me to pick one out of the fantastic opportunities I had last year, it had to be this moment, where nothing seemed real for a while.

Difficult choice this one. I had a good year with Sun 'n Fun (including a flight in Texas Raiders and was tempting to use one of the photos from the flight), RIAT, Flying Legends and East Fortune.
But I decided upon this one of Crazy Horse 2 at rest during the evening airshow at Sun 'n Fun. Got this printed onto a fairly large canvas and it now adorns my dining room!

Re: Your favourite image from 2016!
I feel like I've taken much better photographs this year, in much better conditions, with (much) less noise, but the Ukrainian Su-27 was what prompted Dan, Sam and I to (semi-drunkenly, I think) book a trip to Denmark back in February last year. Given it was (I think?) their first airshow appearance since the breakout of the nation's civil war, each week I was eyeing the participation lists expecting the Ukrainians to drop off it at any time, but sure enough they remained, and checking Twitter whilst sat in Legoland and Billund (because, of course!), confirmation arrived that two Su-27s and their accompanying Il-76 had made it.
The following day we were treated to a brutish Su-27 display from a nation I never thought to see back on the display circuit for some years...
But anyway, I'm prattling. Long story short; despite its numerous flaws, this is my favourite from 2016:

My flaming Spitfire got all the attention, but I was very pleased with this one:

Re: Your favourite image from 2016!
I didn't venture out to too many airshows last year, so RIAT basically 'filled my boots' with shots that I was quite pleased with. My favourite shot was from the CV-22 Osprey display, love seeing this whether I'm at Mildy, Fairford, or elsewhere :-
