Bahrain International Airshow 2018

[WorldInFocus]

Hi All,

Managed a quick trip to Bahrain International Airshow 2018 at Sakhir Airbase. The weather was fairly poor with a mixture of clouds and haze in the morning, which ended up with 8/8 cloud by later n the afternoon. Overall the show itself was good with a good selection of static and flying aircraft including Russian Knights, Tricky Fricky, Mirage 2000, F-16s, MV-22 and an F-35 managed to turn up and complete about 4 passes.

Here's what I managed to shoot over the day. There's a fair few hopefully it will give a flavour of what was on show at the show.

Hope you like the pictures,

Brilliant set of photos, thank you.

[gamecock]

Great stuff Ian, just editing mine now. That USAF F-16 was epic! Which days did you visit? Sounds like you're describing the Friday when I was there. I thought it was a great show overall, and will definitely be looking to go again in 2020.

[WorldInFocus]

Hi gamecock,

Yeah I only managed the Friday, I couldn't justify the time off work to get there on any other days. It was a great show overall, I will be going to 2020 if I still working out in KSA.

[gamecock]

My thoughts exactly. Having seen yours I think I was stood next to you for a fair chunk of the day! Were you in a white t-shirt in the corner of the enclosure?

[WorldInFocus]

Yeah I was in the main static enclosure about where the Gulf Air 787 was. I was wearing a white t shirt.

[slogen51]

wow my face has gone green with envy looking at those

might have to put 2020 into the Calendar

[david14]

Very good Ian - makes me think I should go in 2020!

Hi David,

Definitely it was worth the trip although I only had to pop over from Taif, Saudi Arabia.

[Punkrunner62]

Great set of images Ian, always enjoy your images from out East.
Cheers.

[TREBAX_RAVEN]

Great shots, what set up were you using?

[WorldInFocus]

Great shots, what set up were you using?

Hi 633 squadron,

I used a Canon 7D Mk II, a Tamron 18 -270mm (For Static) and a Sigma 15-600 Contemporary Lens (All the Airborne stuff).

Ian C

[TREBAX_RAVEN]

Very nice.

[jalfrezi]

Looks like there was some nice airframes on static, the actual flying display line looks a little distant though?
