Jwarnerxh558's 2011 in pictures (big post!)
this year has been a year of highs and lows, highs being some of the great visitors and opportunities for great photos at the shows i've attended, the lows being the tragic events that have happened to the reds and the loss of some great types like the Tornado F3 and the Nimrods last flight.
overall though, it has been a good year for me.
one of my first trips out was on SPTA where i finally got my first brown-out landings by a Chinook and a Puma!

second was a trip to RNAS Yeovilton and Westlands where i bagged the Greyhound that was going in and out of VL whilst the carrier was in the UK, and the Algerian and Saudi Merlins at Westlands...

May saw my first visit to RAF Mildenhall and RAF Lakenheath. the longest day of my life, leaving swindon at about 01:30 am and arriving back at around 23:00, but it was all worth it with the visiting potus choppers at mildenhall and other visitors and then a stop at Lakenheath to see the F-15s launch....

Next up, July with Yeovilton Air Day and RIAT
Yeovilton had probably some of the best visitors to UK airshows this year with the Polish MiG-29, French Role Demo and RNLAF Apache Demo with Flares!....

RIAT over the last few years has turned into more of a social event for me, meeting up with the same old faces, Rick, Rich, Jonathan, Dave, Raff,Chris, Liam, John and loads of others laughing all day long making for a great event regardless of the participants!
i look forward to hopefully meeting up everyone next year!

All the helicopter ones are excellent, especially the CH-46 & VH-3 at Mildenhall. Great set.

Great collection!
Re: Jwarnerxh558's 2011 in pictures (big post!)
Fantastic set there. Some wonderful rich colours on the Plain.
The CH46 at Mildenhalll is my pick for it's rarity and angle.

Great set mate.love the plain stuff
Re: Jwarnerxh558's 2011 in pictures (big post!)
Great to see a fabulous selection of shots looking back from your 2011. Looks like you had some great weather on the plains for the Puma's & Chinook's and i really like the selection of Hunters you have included but my favourites have to be the gear retraction shots of the IL76 and the A10.

Tug 747, here are all the shots in the sequence of the IL-76 take off. you can clearly see he is bringing in the gear before he is off the ground!
