Spanish Navy AV-8B - RIAT Sunday 16th July

Post by bigcrow » Mon Jul 17, 2023 3:34 pm

Another excellent day at RIAT yesterday with some interesting weather thrown into the mix particularly when the Spanish Navy AV-8B displayed in the middle of an extremely heavy down pour with a very interesting hover landing, definitely heart in the mouth moment.

That last photo is a corker. If there was ever a photo example of why aircraft can't display in adverse weather, that is it.
