Ironbird Air to Air "23 RAF Cosford Airshow arrivals
Posted: Thu Feb 23, 2023 8:46 am
Yes this year we are planning to fly again for the arrivals of the RAF Cosford Airshow.
i always tell people its 4.5 hours of flying divided over 3 days, as we anticipate transport to arrive on the Thursday, other stuff arriving on the Friday, and rehearsals on the Friday and Saturday.
Renting a small cargo aircraft with a big engine and pilot is not cheap, Fighter aircraft are sinply not good at flying slow, we need the airspeed.
Any air to air with a Typhoon, or F35 / F-16, Rafale etc requires this airspeed, and for some it is not fast enough..
prices is near the same as a Canon R6 body, Only 5 seats for photographers in this aircraft, i call that exclusive ;-)
anyone is welcome to join the project, find me on FB
