Stunning set! Love the Qatari and Romanian schemes.

Many thanks, Paul. Interesting about the Fishbed, and as an aside, it's always amusing seeing photos from past (R)IATs and so many long-out-of-service types, and yet there's Patrulla Aguila in the background with the same old Aviojets...

Those evening shots are absolutely wonderful, as is the Dakota. The Epsilon is interesting too. Many thanks! Thursday's air show was cancelled due to a line of severe thunderstorms that picked the exact worst moment to pass through, though fortunately no harm or damage was done to anyone or anythin...

I spent the better part of last week in Lakeland, Florida for SUN 'n FUN, the little brother to Oshkosh, this year celebrating its 50th Anniversary. The fun was in plentiful supply; the sun part proved a bit more elusive the first two days I was there but came out in full force for the weekend. Anyw...

Nice selection! The Saudi 787 is a looker for sure.

Sweet panning on the Tornado and Draken! Also love the Blackhawk and Alouette shots. Planning on heading over for Airpower this year; thanks for whetting my appetite \m/

Lovely set. The T-6 and Tiger Moth images are very atmospheric, and I do love that Anson.

Stunning location indeed, just a shame about the infernal backlighting. That silver Lockheed (Electra Jr?) is a real beauty, and the Mossie too! Nice to see the Seasprite as well; sounds like they're on borrowed time.

Superb set with some exotic and interesting metal! Really like the Black Eagles head-on shot and the close-up of the F-15SG dumping flares.

Some very interesting aircraft throughout the thread, but an in-service Argus in flight takes some beating. Over to yo...

Some lovely formations there. Sad to see the AMX go, such a charismatic little jet.

Great set - just got back from SNF myself (although I had slightly less of a trek). Another vote for the Connie images, and that swell T-33.

With this being the 100th Topic of the Week, and the air arm of everyone's favourite maple-flagged country prepping for its big birthday bash this summer, let's break out the Molson and hockey sticks and Canadian bacon and see everyone's photos of Royal Canadian Air Force metal, past, present, and.....

Thanks, mic! I hope to replicate that photo this summer at the same locale, but with the Frecce Tricolori. Hopefully the weather's as good...

Now that is pretty!

Nicely captured despite the weather's best efforts. It is a nifty aircraft, has a certain utilitarian charm about it.

A few from both sides of the Atlantic! Ocean City, Maryland 2015: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52693263127_14a71ff765_b.jpg Blues over the Beach by Sean E.

What a selection of warbirds! Another vote for the Dragonfly, plus that Brisfit.

The A-10 theme photo thread compelled me to revisit my images from this event two years ago. Some air shows are as reputed for their stunning scenery just as much as the quality of their air displays; the likes of ZigAirMeet at Mollis and Airpower at Zeltweg spring to mind, and, perhaps to a lesser ...

Nice overview. Particularly liking the Raptor flare shots from Travis; proves that shooting into the sun isn't always a bad thing! And those F-5s... \m/

hope some appreciate the sky tweak to the P3 shots

Indeed! Nice set of images, particularly the P-3 (sky tweak or nay) and the PC-12 for me.

Nice update. I really like that QantasLink special scheme A220 and the Sichuan A350.
