It is an excellent show and the VIP tickets are well worth it.
It's a MIG 29 base

Gents.
A fantastic show.
I was going to put up a Log and Photo's.
But I can't beat the quality of the Log and Photo's on the SWAG website.

Re: SIAF 2018
I have to agree on both accounts - the show and log / photos. The weather on the Sunday wasn't as good.
What doesn't come over in the shots of the flypast by the Govt. fly a/c was how low they were. Strewth.
The Spanish Hornet display was excellent - more than can be saif for the GAF Tonka, - a high speed pass, missed approach and then landing.

Re: SIAF 2018
To support my comment about the low flyby see the pic below.
MiG-29AS 3709 and A319-100 OM-BYA
The black box at the bottom left is a PA speaker rig (height aout 8 ft) and you can just make out the top of someone's head midway along the bottom. Ordinarily, I'd Photoshop these out, but decided to leave them in to make a point.
A couple of others if anyone is interested.
Mil Mi-24V 7353 Czech Air Force
MiG-29 two-seater post-practise RTB
MiG-29UBS 1303 SL, Slovak Air Force[
and finally that Spanish Hornet I mentioned C15-57 / 12-15 Ala 12,

Glad you put the photo up to show just how low it was.

Re: SIAF 2018
Jet Noise,
Have to agree that the airliners at Sliac (and Radom) were extremely, and impressively, low. Certainly something that we'll not see at a show this side of The Channel.
That Hornet pilot was amazing though. He must have come back from a squadron exchange on Flankers...

Sometimes I talk to myself, then we both laugh and laugh.

Re: SIAF 2018
This is the reason I go to such shows & don't bother with ones in the UK. The Jordanian Falcons were also fantastic on both days with brilliant pilot skills. I was talking to the two RAF Typhoon pilots when the Spanish Hornet was displaying - the stopped talking & watched his display in awe.
