FighterControl

Well, this year turned out to be a rather special show in many ways.

A U2 display on Friday, followed by the recovery of a mission U2 later in the day! And the two Hellenic Phantom's putting on quite the show on their arrival! A first time seeing an F-15 display and what a display the F-15QA put on, very very impressive. The F-16 line up was very impressive, but the Moroccan F-16's were the stars of the static park for me

Once again the yearly pilgrimage to RAF Fairford was 6 days of aviation and good people. Making it the best 6 days of the year.

A few from across the arrivals, show days and departures.

Thank you. Being a British Superbikes photographer, my motorsport style comes into my aviation stuff a little, which adds something different

Great shots!, something a little bit different with the documentary style pics.

WOW !
