from looking at photos from last year, is there a certain place you can go, mayeb having to pay more or something, where you can get a better view and much better shots?

if i look at the professional's shots they all seem to be form a much different angle and so i think would i be able to get there aswell?

wasnt sure where this chould be, so feel free to move it mods

cheers

It's a long time since I went to RIAT. I think some of those photos are taken on the Park & View days. I think this is basically an area set aside in the car park. http://www.airtattoo.com/showcontent.asp?CollectionID=@0000000259

Park & View
Park and view the amazing aircraft as they swoop low over the threshold at RAF Fairford to take part in Europe's largest and most exciting airshow.

The RIAT 2006 Park & View enclosures will open on Wednesday 12 July - Friday 14 July incl. and again on Monday 17 July. You can watch the planes arrive and rehearse on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and watch the planes depart on Monday. The following facilities will be available
