Cranfield Festival of Flight 17th Sept 2016

As it was billed as the first airshow at Cranfield since the since the 90's I thought I would go and have a look around . I used to go there regularly when I was young and even found the Beagle Pup that we went up in . To give you an idea of time scale the TRS2 was parked between the hangars . The l...

Atlantic City Airshow NJ August 2016

As we happened to be in New Jersey the same week as the airshow I took the opportunity to see what the US airshows are like compared to Europe . My conclusion from this show was they like their flypasts . The aerobatic displays were very good as well . It was great to see the Thunderbirds as I haven...

Re: Duxford American Air Show - 29/5/16

Nice set Cameron , I was thinking your photo angles were very similar to mine then realised I think I was standing next to you . It did turn out to be a much better day than I was expecting . Great catch on the Osprey departure
