RIAT 2017 - A few highlights from me

Post by MTPhoto »

Thoroughly enjoyed another great weekend at RIAT (well Sunday & Monday).
I felt partially lucky to attend Sunday, as I usually go on the Saturday, after hearing how bad the weather was and of course the fact of the missing B2.

I must have took 1000s of photos but I have just picked a few highlights to share.
Already looking forward to next year and seriously considering FRIAT to get into the grandstand.

Very nice pictures. Great angle on that second F-22 shot, I never ended up with one like that, you were obviously in good position for that one.

What's that blue stuff behind the aircraft? :whistle: (I went Saturday).

Nice captures, especially the F22

Thanks guys, I must admit my favorite aircraft is definitely the F-22, I tend to get a little trigger happy when that comes past. Got tons more photos to go through yet so will hopefully have some more good ones.

Shame about the weather Saturday, we had patches of blue that I was desperately looking for in the viewfinder.

I was over in the red zone next to the garden marquee tents. It wasn't a good position for things like the Apache finale but pretty good for most items.

Great B-2 and Raptor shots :-)
