Just a selection of the jet displays this year, was pleased to finally see an F-86 (smoke included) take to the skies! Was also nice to see a Vampire and Venom, and see the Sea Vixen again.

The show opener; the very loud RAF Typhoon. As always, a fine peroformance.

I wonder if you could roast a marshmallow on those ;D

Powering along...

'Chute release, brilliant display.

Image
The Hawker Hunter, nice to see it perform a display (living near Exeter, EGTE, you see quite a few flying about anyway thanks to the Hunter Flying Club there :))

Image
Just bleeding of the final speed as she glides over the threshold...

We had a nice view from the end of the other RWY at Yeovilton, especially of the VAAC Harrier which took off using this RWY.

Next up, P2 of the Jet Displays :)

Did the VAAC actually fly in the show, or just depart the same afternoon?
