I see what you meant about the Rafale display. The first vapour shot in particular is sweet!

Cheers buddy, shame the weather wasn't better and someone didn't get bitten by a snake the day before!

Nice work in there Nick, considering the weather this is a solid set. Particularly like the shots down the taxiway

Thanks Aaron, appreciate the comment Hopefully the weather for MAKS will be more like your trip to Turkey, than mine to NTM!

The fast-moving Rafale is fantastic. The weather adds to these I think.

Pity 74 Squadron wasn't a RAF Typhoon unit...
