St's catch up #3 - Yeovilton

[st24]

A few snaps from the Friday arrivals/practice/aggro/brown trouser day. Like most UK shows, VL has really lost it's oomph, but the sun was out and there was some decent flying to watch. In effect though I did a 350 mile round trip to shoot 2 special painted Danish F16s...

Some lovely historics - saviours of the modern airshow scene?






Locals are always good value and the Commando assualt is always a great spectacle






Shame Westland's couldn't drop the more exotic products in but this was good to see...


Wouldn't normally post landing Harriers, but, given recent events..




Good pull, Lord knows the static needed it...


Fiery flaming flaring fighting falcon freesome finale

Great set, the F-16's top sides are excellent...

[RickIngham]

Second to last picture really stands out

Some nice stuff there Geoff, the F-16s especially.

Belgian F-16 is very nice!

Why would you make a 350 mile round trip to shoot some Danish apertures?

High quality shots & nice angles too!

Thanks for the recent comments folks...

Great shots, only to be blown out the water by the naval stuff posted up from across the pond.

Never mind, wish I had made the trip, look forward to seeing this years work.
