A selection of my pics from a rather splendid RIAT24. Some cracking aircraft so many congratulations to those who's efforts got them there.. :thumb:

Most of mine are from Monday as normal as work gets priority on the others day...Hope they are of interest, no fancy edits here, just as they come. Pic heavy :whistle:

Some great angles in there, your volunteering allowed for access to a great positions, maybe giving an insight into FRIAT angles for 2025....

Thanks, Yes, I believe so, I think I was roughly where the new FRIAT location is planned to be.

Fantastic set of shots from a brilliant few days. Very hard to pick a favourite but the light on that super paint scheme on the CC-295 is sublime.

Very nice Kevin. The F-15QA in shot 41 is great, as is the Italian in 44 with the nice backdrop. Trying to work out where you were for 30 (FB-17) and 31 (SP), were you elevated somewhere near P&V West during the NATO flypast.
