Thanks to all for the positive comments. This year's airshow was a small scale event and as expected, attendance at the static park was poor given the free for all spectacle at the shore line which was well attended yesterday. Definitely the Ukrainians stole the show, and a pair of USN P-8s adding to the thrill as well.

Great selection of shots! How was the display over sea, was it far away?

Thanks. The distance of the display line from the shore was similar to that from a crowd on an airfield. It was good fun and could get some decent shots with a 400mm. Personally I would still prefer the aerodrome environment though. The noise is amplified and the background more appealing.
