Cool shot.

It is just cosmic dust that falls off an alien spaceship when it enters the atmosphere.. Nothing to worry about, it will be invisible again in a few seconds
Nice shot!

Last week, I got to shoot this former RAAF Tiger Moth that first flew in 1942.

Very nice picture, Roo.

Hi Roo.
Cool shot, I'm guessing you were flying alongside by the way the pilot is looking straight at you. Nice.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks Click and Graham.

Formation flying 101 - always keep the lead aircraft in sight. I was in a Cessna 172 just in front and above him so he was always going to be looking towards the camera

Very happy - the F-35 will be making an appearance at the airshow here next month along with the RAAF's new EA-18G Growler. Unfortunately neither will be flying during the show but I'll try to get some shots when they arrive

Hard not to love the P-51! Here are a few more shots (a couple solo, and one with the F35, F86, and A10).

Great shots here,love them.
Is there a website anyone here knows of that list future airshows?
We used to have 3 or 4 shows in my area every year but they seem to have become much more infrequent. Thanks.

Winter is quite depressing, no airshows over here.. A couple of weeks ago I heard jets flying above my job but I did'nt bother to go out and take a look. That was a bad idea I realized later, it was SAAB 37 Viggens 50:th anniversary so there was a short display over Linköping with a 37 Viggen together with two 39 Gripen... I'd have to be better prepared next time Wish I knew when Gripen E 39-8 is about to do its first flight :
Anyway, here are a few shots from Nyköping/Skavsta September 2016; Johan Gustavsson doing aerobatics with his civil glider.. with lots of smoke

Very nice series. I especially like the first picture.

Well done, Erik.

Excellent Eric and great timing! Johan will be performing here in Australia in a couple of weeks at the Avalon airshow including a night display on Friday Looking forward to seeing him perform!

Hi Erik.
Fabulous set of shots, I really like the fourth shot, and the 4 smoke streams is a genius idea, it make it look like the Red Arrows (insert your favourite display team) has been by!

Cheers, Graham.

I would like to see the night display also and try some high-iso shots
Johan has some pictures on his web site, it looks quite spectacular http://www.j-gustafsson.com/
