Thunder over Dover '22, Dover AFB, Delaware 21-22 May

Post by Tomahawk »

In the US on business which included a free weekend that coincided with the return of Dover AFB's airshow, Thunder over Dover. Totally free and well organised event, 75000 visitors over the two days. Temps hit 95 degrees on the Saturday which meant human silhouettes for the static as everyone sought shade across the day by sitting under the aircraft. Never fails to surprise me how freely the US allow aircraft access at their shows, with only a select few like the F22 having fences.

As it was a business trip, didn't have my DSLR so this is more of a photo record from my iPhone. Both the Thunderbirds and the Blue Angels displayed so of course that took up a lot of the schedule but tbh I was very impressed by both, especially as they have a lot more freedom to maneuver under US rules than when they fly over here in the UK.
