Well, here's my pics from RIAT. There already seems to be enough RIAT threads going so I'll limit myself. Arrived nice 'n early which I'm glad I did giving the unexpected surge of traffic. A great afternoon ensued and great weather to go with it. I apologise for the props in these photos, the lens I used seemed to give me two choices: use a lower shutter speed and get blurred props along with the rest of the aircraft, or use the next highest shutter speed and get a nice sharp picture of an aircraft with stationary blades. It's either that or my panning. Further apologies for the lack of shots showing afterburners and power. I have sensitive hearing so unfortunately those aren't possible.  :'( These are among the best I took yesterday.


Finnish F-18C - VERY nice display from this one

Haven't been to an airshow in two years since yesterday, so it was wonderful to hear the sweet sound of merlins again!

Best display of the day IMO  8-)

These are my first airshow pics so go easy on me  ;) Thanks for looking.

Nice quality...

Funny how most of the Sabre's gear is hidden, for a moment I thought it was skimming the ground in flight!  :o  ;)
