A few from the fence at Fairford, as the U-2 is quite topical at the minute with RIAT on the horizon. Nice that the forward deployed aircraft have been given some individuality now with the new tail markings. Thanks to big john and zero_gravity for their daily movement posts, without which I would h...

Nice selection of interesting types, jealous of seeing the Greyhound!

Nice to see shots from the base, especially with the armourers

PAF F-16 practice was ok. Seemed quite far south of the display line

Black Cats just arrived 13.57

ZZ413 & ZZ535

A bit off the radar for European spotters maybe, but Stuart seems to attract good participation from military demo teams with its slot at the end of the season and was well worth the trip over. Logistics were not too bad, I decided not to drive so flew into Miami and headed north via the rail link a...

Lovely stuff, I'm constantly drawn back to the few remaining operational relics from the Cold War, not least because I am one!

Lovely set, great photos and very atmospheric

Excellent set Paul, hard to pick a favourite! What was the number on the single seater out of interest, 8309?

Any idea how many are still operational?

Cracking shots of a very charismatic aircraft. I doubt I'll ever see one fly again so yes please to some more!

A bit late but here’s some shots from my first visit to the annual show at Burke Lakefront Airport. Easy logistics, flew into Cleveland and got an Uber to an AirBnB within walking distance of the airfield, no issues with safety. Arrivals on Thursday were great from the local park to the west, the Po...

Nice tease, looking forward to seeing some more! Another sad loss from European skies....

Thanks Dan, lovely shots, great to see them flying again. The last photo in particular is beautiful, spot on light, sky and composition, nailed it!

I was one of about 60 F-4 enthusiasts for my first time at PhanCon, hosted by Hellenic AF 338 Sqn at Andravida AFB, Greece. The event was heavily oversubscribed and unbelievably cheap at 70 Euros so I consider myself very lucky to have had the opportunity, and some of us had a bonus day in the low l...

Lovely shot Paul, happy days!
