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

I'm in Oz. The major show here is Avalon but the next one will be Feb next year. I'll have a small show of mostly historics to go to in a couple of months but then there's not much else on.

RIAT and Farnborough would be a great double to catch in July.

Ah ok. Historics can be good to see, I do love a good Spitfire/P51 display!

That would be a great double catch, yet to go to RIAT myself, its too far to manage in a day for me and I need to save some money this year, so will be sticking to Farnborough and one or two free local ones I think.

F-35A did a wing wave as she was doing her take off.... F-15C spot with the new IRST21 pod.

These pictures were taken during Air 14 back in 2014 (celebration 100 years Swiss Air Force). Air 14 was held on the Airfield of Payerne, Switzerland, during 2 separate weekends. It was quite a show...

I tried to make the best of a nasty, rainy day. At least there was a lot of vapor in the air.

Nice work, Keith. Man, that beautiful blue sky!

Wish we had the moisture content like your shots! California air in airshow season is low humidity. Miramar might be the exception but typically nasty shooting conditions. I rarely go there but when I do, editing the photos takes a lot more effort.

Miramar
