...one would hope, if their Hornet demo ever returns, that they would look to emulate their European peers rather than their fellow North Americans. A rational person would hope that they would perform their display within the parameters established by the Canadian Armed Forces. You know, the gover...

I can't wait to see next Thursday's update in that case! .................a whole squadron of Spanish AV-8Bs, herds of MiGs from Croatia, the entire USAF inventory of B2Bs.................oh dear.. Don't forget the German MiG-29s, Aussie F-111s, Laotian MiG-21s, Nagorno-Karabakh Hips, and did I for...

Aviation, on the whole, accounts for approximately 3.5% of all CO2 emissions. Aggressive steps should be taken to reduce the impact, but your conscience ought not to be too heavily weighed upon.

Being from the States, I only had the pleasure of seeing Peter display once, at Shoreham back in 2014 with the lovely Spit PR11. Beautiful display it was, too.

And I'm not talking about the "fake" Memphis Belle from the 1990 movie!* The original Memphis Belle is now on display at the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force, so if you've not found a reason to make the trek to Dayton, Ohio yet, you've now got one. The exhibit opened on Thursday, 17 M...

Ah, good ol' Andrews. Used to be an annual pilgrimage for me, but I stopped going a few years after they started shuttling spectators from offsite. I keenly recall struggling with that early-morning light that seemed to linger out in front forever, and always when the more interesting or unusual kit...

Wow, that was a show and a half. Four days spent baking in the Ontario sun, under record temperatures for the time of year, under glorious sunshine, has yielded these results. I'm going to post these in the order in which I damned well please, so no, they're not chronological. I make no apologies fo...

I've just returned from four days roasting in the Canadian sun at the spectacular Airshow London, which featured wall-to-wall sunshine, flesh-melting temperatures, and a boatload of fast jets beating up the airfield. I've got over 1,300 images to process from the Thursday arrivals (taken from outsid...

The weather forecast looked splendid for the Northeastern Pennsylvania Air Show, held at Wilkes-Barre/Scranton International Airport in Avoca, Pennsylvania, about an hour or so northwest of Philadelphia in the picturesque Pocono region. Well, being as it's in the mountains, twenty-four hours of blue...

Oh, that CF-18 looks nice! I wasn't sure how good it'd look in the flesh from the computer images, but they really did a banger of a job. I hope I get to catch it sometime this year; I'm going to Gatineau at the end of the month, but the Hornet is somewhere in the US South that weekend. Another trip...

Thanks for the compliments all! Lakeland is indeed a very photogenic venue; the crowdline faces due north, so the sun is behind you all day. Great set of pics & some humour thrown in as well! One question. What's all the small printing that's on the Mohawk? It seems to be all over the fuselage &...

Last week, I was in Lakeland, Florida for Sun 'N Fun. My first time there, and I'll more than likely be back. I attended the Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday shows, and took quite a few photographs. Tuesday, 4 April Worst weather of the week in terms of photography conditions, with high clouds in the ...

How 'bout the newest sibling, the UH-1Y Venom? https://c8.staticflickr.com/8/7035/26738312791_5d808a5fc0_b.jpg Venom by Auguries Imagery , on Flickr And some older UH-1Hs... https://c3.staticflickr.com/9/8035/29040156282_47ba357703_b.jpg Dustoff by Auguries Imagery , on Flickr https://c5.staticflick...

I take that to mean that at the time of scheduling the team hadn't been tasked with a show that weekend but have been put on notice they will potentially be attending one. As UK participation of US flying assets isn't usually announced until early in that year, there is a very good chance this &quo...

The F-15 demo and Thunderbirds were here in 2007, i can't see why not! That was ten years ago, when the USAF had seven single-ship demo teams. Langley and Nellis aside, the USAF keeps the Thunderbirds and F-22 separate. Spread the wealth, y'know. I'm shocked at the audacity some folks have in assum...

Back in June, I found myself at the Ocean City Air Show in coastal Maryland. As with the previous year, I watched the show from my hotel room balcony, right at show center. It was a decent little show; not a patch on 2015, but it had some good stuff, like the F/A-18F tac demo, the F-35A "Herita...

Absolutely phenomenal set! I must make it out there one of these years..

Hehe, perhaps! I'm easy to spot. I was with the gaggle on the crumbling old road north of the main one, which I'm convinced is there just to cater to air show spotters

That's one superb model! Well captured.

Thanks all! Appreciate the comments. BAD: 1) MiG-23 canceling last minute. This was touted as a headliner since January, and all of a sudden it cancels two weeks before the show. This was the main reason I went to the show, and bought all my photo pit tickets in advance. From what I heard around the...

I make no apologies for the volume of images in this post. As good as this show was - and make no mistake, it was phenomenal - it was supposed to have been even better. The theme this year was "Helotown," and the star item would've been an Mi-24 from the Cold War Aviation Museum. Originall...

Oh those are nice...

Outstanding! The Sea Vixen shots are perfect.

Probably not the most exciting list ever, but here goes: Airbus A319, A320, A321 Airbus A330-200, -300 Airbus A340-600 ATR 42-300 ATR 72-600 BAe Jetstream 41 Beechcraft 1900D Boeing 717-200 Boeing 727-200 Boeing 737-200, -300, -400, -400 Combi, -500, -700, -800, -900 Boeing 757-200 Boeing 767-200, -...

Excellent stuff, Langley always puts on a great show. Just wish that weather could've stuck around for Cherry Point the following week! A bit sad to see the Martinsburg tail flash on a C-17, though. We used to get their Galaxies up in Pittsburgh now and then. Globemasters just don't have the same pr...
