American's Beat Up RIAT 17

Post by Cornish-guy » Tue Jul 25, 2017 8:09 pm

Highlight of RIAT 17 for me was the USAF Tanker/Herc and fastjets, I was pleased that they did more than just one pass as it gave me the chance to take a few different angles.

Hope you like folks.

Nice shots, but surely you should be keeping these all in your RIAT thread as opposed to creating many others. Prevents the forum getting cluttered

Nice set. Pic No1 for me, I haven't noticed the RAF crest on the tail of a US tanker before, proves I haven't been looking very hard I guess.

Thanks mate :thumbs:

I loved the last high speed pass - they seemed to approach at normal speed then put their foot down, so much speed and without re-heat Amazing :clap:
