Unlucky for the Spotter Visit to be the rainy day. However, the mighty Phantoms & AMX's are worth getting wet for any day! Thanks for sharing these great shots.

The track-record for events re-occurring after a lengthy hiatus isn't great by any measure, but against the odds FL.23 happened. Several aspects both predictable (RIAT clash & others) & unpredictable (weather & others) conspired to make for a steep learning curve, BUT almost certainly no...

Saw it on another 'popular' Forum last week. Seeing the state of those formerly pristine live aircraft like this makes me wonder if the 'other option' for them might not have been less painful? Having greasy dirty Div's crawling all over them with little regard for other peoples property is hard to ...

Just wondering if your Searchteam have located any evidence of the first Team that went looking for this article in question?
Approaching 90 days since your last update & I'm just worried they are lost without trace, just like that Article?

This is a really good set of night-shots. The first is great timing for dusk, but the framing of the last shot takes the medal!

If your'e talking SEOUL AIRSHOW (ADEX) 2023 Seoul Airport, Incheon, South Korea which was October 17, 2023 - October 22, 2023 The 2025 edition of Seoul ADEX takes place from the Tuesday, October 21, 2025 - Sunday, October 26, 2025. Plenty of time to fill the travel coffers with 1,638.75 'South Korea...

Will they train on Saturday and Sunday?

Also, while you're on the Crystal Ball can I have next weeks Winning Lottery numbers by PM?

It's not like I haven't seen a C-5M wing-low flypast before!
Oh, wait a minute? I haven't EVER seen such a spirited flyby.
Excellent shots Snj2, I say continue to post as many more of these as you wish.

Bloody Aircraft totally spoilt that gorgeous text! Thank God for slightly less manic Watermarking & a reduction in prolific non-paying Sponsors these days?

Just seen this & I can't help but think this show "Airborne Eastbourne" is destined for a crash-landing by mid-August 2024. Surely they're under the same economic & ecological pressures as Bournemouth? (Please see https://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?p=955523#p955523) I full...

The 'normal' 4-Day Freebie Air Festival will be a pale shadow of its previous self in 2024. Without benefit of the seemingly still popular Red Arrows in 2024 & reduced to a 3-Day Event the slide into oblivion has commenced. Under the new plans any iteration of the Air Festival in 2025 will be a ...

Never being the one to piss on a party. :wink: The bottom line is that we as Enthusiasts or members of the Public will never, ever get to see the variety, content & sheer numbers of aircraft attendees that's been the case previously. For a whole range of reasons it will just never happen again! ...

The OP. seems to have gone quiet on this one? Clearly, by reference to the current items for sale on reputable Camera Dealers websites, you can get more bang for your Buck recently. Firstly I need to confirm the Sony RX10 IV is imo excellent as a convenient 'one-rig does all' set-up, that I recommen...

Excellent update sylvancatharsis. I must admit to Not even checking the National Naval Aviation Museum website for the latest conditons of entry! Still not gonna help much as my Number One candidate for Sponsor duties has a US Work Permit, US. Residency & Social number....but a UK. Passport! :gr...

Always one of my favourite show locations with virtually unlimited pre & post-showdays access. But that was back then, now I don't think there is even access to the Museum as a non-US Resident, even with a Military Sponsor? The Trainer presentation was a brilliant addition yielding some great ph...

Great selection of shots in a well presented format. Your location for departures was particularly well chosen.
I'm not exactly sure what the story is with the BIG EC Tigre & Little Gazelle shot? Has the appearance of a unintentional composite shot?

Looks to me that you made a good decision on your location. A very different perspective on the Event resulting in excellent images!

That'll be the CAF B-25J 'Devil Dog'. Some great shots here & good subjects too.
That TA-4 Skyhawk, F-4 & F-100 line-up was worth the visit alone!

Very nice shots! Especially liking #1 & another vote for shot # 5. That mountain backdrop is perfect.

Thanks for that explanation Archer . My Google search was inconclusive.

Agree totally, but without any racial connotations a quick Google has identified the first coloured female American fast-jet pilot as Lt. j.g. Madeline Swegle earning her wings in July 2020 to then initially become a Prowler pilot. To date I can't find a coloured female RAF FJ pilot ever? Basically ...

Thanks for that Mike. Gonna take Shuttleworth then as I picked wrong with Duxford last time they were here !

You're so right Andyph. I'd take La Ferte Alais, Melun Villaroche & Zeltweg over everything UK except RIAT. :wink: My best shots of UK based Warbirds have been obtained at LFA & Melun since the days of access to the Duxford 'Naughty Fields'! :innocent: It's also notable that in 2024 Duxford ...

Wow! Good looking jet & super backdrop. :sunglasses: Possibly this jet will live-on as one of the twelve sold to Draken, supplied to train/equip Ukraine's next generation fighter pilots? Or even bolster the Romanian AF Inventory. Bodo itself is now consigned to the history books since Jan 2022, ...

Nice shots in very 'reasonable' weather compared to Fairford.
I was starting to think that CF-188 was destined for Newark Air Museum?
