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

Outstanding set! I particularly enjoy the images of the Frecce over the Emirates 'liners.

Oi, tricky one, this! But I'll dig deep into my well of creativity...or try anyway... 1.

That first image is a stunner! Also liking the Rafale in golden light and Hawkeye topside.

That Ercoupe sure is pretty. Airtrainer is a looker too.

Great images, George! I love that scheme on the Corsair, and I don't think I've ever seen a Valiant in green.

The second P-3, head-on C295, and final Atlas shots are superb.

Not aurora borealis but another photographer walked in front of me whilst I was shooting the A400M which was a minor inconvenience of the open ramp and people not sure where they could go ...

Psst, you're not supposed to tell anyone

Great images, another vote for the Xingu and the P-3 photos.

Excellent set! Particularly liking the first Atlas, the Irish all lined up, and the P-3/Merlin.

Reading about all this kerfluffle with the Spotters Passes is making me glad I completely forgot all about the sale! Into the vast sea of regular spectators I go...

Well there is a piston engined military schemed Tracker flying at an airshow this weekend.
One of many stars that will be flying! Such as a Neptune, Caribou and Consellation.

Last time I checked, Australia is quite a distance from Gloucestershire...

Stellar set of a superb subject, particularly the last two.

Swell set overall but that first image of the Su-22 is epic! Such a beast, well captured.

Superb catch! Good-looking Herc.

Great images! That second KC-10 is definitely looking the worse for wear.

Shame they'll be gone so soon, one to be missed for sure.

All from RIAT 2012, last time I saw the Belgian Viper Display. Was hoping to catch it this year at Airpower, but, well... :( https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52701165757_3ce4920413_h.jpg Viper Up by Sean E.

Typically, when two ACC demo teams are at a show together, both aircraft will participate in the Heritage Flight. Nine times out of ten, the warbird is a P-51, but West Coast shows seem to get a bit more variety, so might be something different.

Per Air Combat Command, the A-10 Demo Team will also be at Luke \m/

Facing into the sun seems to be a common theme at West Coast shows - although your F-35 image proves that it isn't always a bad thing!

Excellent set. The P-38 and Dauntless are real beauties, and I really like the TBM/Corsair shot.

In terms of modern mil, notwithstanding the RS C-130 mentioned above, there is (or was) a USAF C-17 kicking around with them, too.

Still is! Hopefully it makes the rounds at public events this year...

Nicely caught; the white top even stands out in the conditions!

Excellent captures, my highlights being the 2nd image and the 3rd/4th A400M night shots.
