Re: Tanagra Airshow Day 1......Pic Heavy.
Think I need to do this next year. On the spotters day were you allowed to walk the static towards the end of the day or were you restricted to the various enclosures. Hi Thunder, No access was given to the static on the spotters day, but in all honesty, there were only 10 aircraft max on static, a...

After the overcast and showery spotters day, we awoke at 0600 Hrs to make the 40 mile trip from Athens to Tanagra, yet again departure was in overcast conditions and the thought of a second day shooting black aircraft on white skies filled me with dread, especially as the forecast was wall to wall s...

Lakenheath 18th March 2022
With the sun forecast to shine all day, I decided on a 4 hour jaunt to Lakenheath, not much flying in the afternoon (if any), but the morning was well worth it. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51953149909_a386108270_h.jpg Unrestricted climb out !! by Rob Burns , on Flickr https://live.staticflic...
