RIAT 07: Modern USAF

Postby Mictheslik » Sat Jul 14, 2007 3:25 pm

B52 had engine ejector seat (thanks mark ;)) problems so no BUFF display, but I did get a few of the static....B1B was present as was the F117 in the flying line up.

Love the pic of the Bone. What resolution is the full-size image? I think I may have found a new desktop background...

Very nice pictures the only USAF bomber i have seen is the B-52 and i couldn't get up close because i can can't fly  :o We only had about 2 flyby's from the B-52 then bon vouyage (SPELLING!?!?!) at AValon Airshow :)
You are lucky you get to see so many great aircraft such as F-22 and all those bombers and fighters  ;) I wish i could have seen the F-117 and B-1B because i have the Alpha models on FSX and love them...... Wonder what the Nighthawk is getting replaced with Suppose the F-22 or F-35  :-?
By the way Nice camera wish i had the 1 mil second shot i hav a delay camera  :-/ Oh well

When the "bone" landed and was taxing off the runway there was that guy behind my mate (in a white top a bit to the right of you Mic) and he was like 6ft 2 and my mate is like 5ft so he took at photo of it taxing then he said. "I only got the rear end beacuse those fu**ing kids are in the way". Even tho the camera was clearly way above our heads, and we were at the front.

By the way nice shots there.

Wow... Impressive B-1!

The Stealth-fighter... about the only plane that can't fly without it's computer... hardly aerodynamic, but still great to see.

Modern? ;D
LOL great pics mic.


The USAF has one frontline combat aircraft (fixed wing) which is under 25 years old (original design)!

By comparison, the poor RAF has two and a half*!

*The Tornado F2/3 is under 25 years old but is related far too much with the original Tornado MRCA to count fully! ;D
