Military Aircraft: airshows, operational, whatever, lets see what you have!

Hi Guy.
Now that is priceless!

Cheers, Graham.

Okay, not military but this is probably the best forum to post this shot. A retired colleague often takes shots at Edinburgh airport and was spotted by the pilot of this 787. Just for fun the pilot should've written, "I'd rather be flying a Typhoon"

A few from the Great New England Air Show yesterday. I was tracking the blue angel from left to right. Kinda of a cool effect (at least I thought)

Also like the raptor with the heat waves behind it

I really like the blur on the second shot. Well done Eric.

Thanks Click Rotor blur on a V-22 is a painfully slow shutter speed on a long lens. :

Hi Folks.
At last, some shots from an airshow I attended in Normandy last year during the D.Day commemorations. Made lots of silly mistakes, shot One Shot AF on moving targets, (that is foolish right?) used a single AF point on aircraft flying in predominantly clear skies, took way tooooo many shots of the same thing, meaning I had to go to Jpeg half way through the show to make space, plus a few shots on the wrong settings

Nice series Graham It's not often you see an old Typhoon or 109 flying.

By the way, it's not foolish - just a reminder to check your settings lol.

Cheers

Well played sir! I went back and had another look at some of the shots and something seemed not quite right then I looked at the album name. I got fooled ;D

Hi Roo.
Thanks for looking, and spotting my slight deception! ;D
Man those things shift, especially the jets, real jet engines, sounds so realistic, much better than most of the piston engines. The only real exception are the multi cylinder radial engines, they sound fantastic.

Cheers, Graham.

Now that's how all take-offs should be! Fly it like you stole it.

Don't think a B-2 pic has made it to this thread yet?
