Well after fully looking through my photos a couple of air shots came out well but most were poor, a few statics came out quite well though. Cant wait to see Dougs, but here are mine for now

The "Biz Jet with missiles" is actually a  Dassault Falcon 20F with underwing electronic warfare emitters.

I used to work on quite similar aircraft in 414 (EW) Sqdn of the CAF. :)

Interesting angles Craig.

You have a digital camera so if someone gets in the way you can easily delete it & take another one. Big air displays are not the ideal place to get decent static shots. You need a lot of patience to get the one you want. The best thing is to get there early & head for the static park before the punters arrive. If you can't get a clear shot make a feature of the people in it. I've found this can give some idea of the atmosphere of the place.

I've found that generally if I tap someone on the shoulder and ask politely for them to step aside they usually do.  It's a major Faux Pas to interfere with someone's picture and most folks want to help...
