Re: New to FC or not so new? Introduce yourself here.
Hi,
I am the co-owner of https://www.flyingraphics.com/ with my brother, we have both grown up on RAF and dare I say it Army bases, being exposed to and enjoying all things aeronautical and military during our childhood. This continued with our passion for airshows and other aviation interests.
With this in mind, over the years, we found that there had been a distinct lack of quality aviation themed T Shirts available to buy at shows and nowadays on-line, so we thought we would design our own.
We first set up shop in 2014 with only 5 designs, selling on eBay and attended our first airshow event at Bruntingthorpe Cold War Jets fast taxi event as a trader in the May of that year. We were overwhelmed by the very warm and appreciative welcome we received from other aviation enthusiasts, with only positive words of encouragement.
From these humble beginnings fueled by our customers enthusiasm we now find ourselves embarking on the 2016 airshow season with 30 + designs and many more on the drawing board, now selling Worldwide from our own website and being booked in to attend more than a dozen UK airshows this year.
On top of all this we have developed a brand new product, PIXAERO https://www.flyingraphics.com/collections/pixaero, which is an on-line tool for aviation photographers both amateur and professional to upload beautifully taken aviation images reproduced into gallery quality photographic artwork onto four different mediums for aviation enthusiasts to enjoy and admire on their walls. The contributor earns a royalty and retains copyright in the process. Flyingraphics.com do all of the marketing, printing, packaging, posting and customer service, leaving the photographer free to concentrate on taking fantastic photographs.
I am new to this forum but from what I have seen it is a fantastic recourse for the aviation fan and will hopefully be a frequent contributor, I hope you can take the time to visit our website and you will also find us on Facebook.
Thank you for your time.

Hi
My name is Richard and we hope to be moving to Lakenheath to be near family in the summer. I don't know anything about this hobby, but I love 'planes and used to regularly go to the Mildenhall airshow.

Re: New to FC or not so new? Introduce yourself here.
Hello everyone.
I came across the forum last year once I started following the Fairford B-52 training exercises and have not got to join it until last week. Thank you admins for accepting my request
I am from Swindon and attend quite a few shows and events and love taking photos. My set up is rather basic at the moment but will definitely be looking to get more equipment radio/camera in the very near future. In mean time will be reading as much as I can and try to get familiar with the forum properly and hopefully meet new people !

Thanks for accepting me to the forum.
I live in Gloucester and Fairford would be my local , so to speak, for anything military and I make occasional visits if there is a chance of some activity. My local airport, Staverton, has been known to accept military aircraft. An A400 being a regular with its training flypasts.
I came upon this site when looking for info on the recent B52 activity
I know nothing as regards scanning the airwaves, amateurish at photography but love the sight, sounds and smell of the big birds.

Re: New to FC or not so new? Introduce yourself here.
Hi from another newbie. I'm a retired old codger now but have been a glider pilot/instructor and NPPL holder and have just hung-up my flying-suit after almost 20 years of flying. It never really gets out of your blood so I'm always keen to chat about flying (gliding, power (prop and jet), military or civil).

Re: New to FC or not so new? Introduce yourself here.
Hello all. Thanks to site admin for accepting my registration request.
I've been a mil air fan for about 35 years (about two-thirds of my total!) Living in West Yorks. Brought up on the good old days of Finningley Air Show and Mildenhall Air Fete legendary burgers! Trying to get back into scanning having let it lapse for a while (mainly through a combination of work and my previously faithful Yupiteru MVT7100 and AOR 8200 both starting to give up the ghost - replacement needed methinks.

Re: New to FC or not so new? Introduce yourself here.
Wotcha guys 'n gals,
Another newbie here checking in and saying hi.
I have always been interested in aviation from a young age (RAF Brat ) I recently moved from near one air base to another, Wattisham to Lakenheath.
If I'm not flying around the skies in my F15E (sadly just in my flight sim) I can often be found watching the real thing at the viewing area at RAF Lakenheath. I've also started to take photography more seriously and my lenses are getting longer and longer
Chocks away,
Mike

Take off is optional. Landing is mandatory
Re: New to FC or not so new? Introduce yourself here.
Hi, long time browser finally registered. Based in Essex I'm into cold war jets and anything noisy with an engine! No doubt bump into some of you at Bruntingthorpe or Fairford.
