Yeovilton Air Day 08 - Jet Displays (P2)
Posted: Sun Jul 06, 2008 6:56 pmThe second half of my photos of the jet displays...enjoy!
The VAAC Harrier T2 in a hover; it was brilliant to see a Harrier display! At the 05 show here, they annoucned that it would be the last show from frontline Navy Harriers, and I hadn't seen a Harrier display since, so hearing that deafening roar as the VAAC T2 hovered was a welcome sound
Another aircraft I'd not seen fly before, an F-86 Sabre, which put on a very good display (came complete with 'Cold War Smoke')
Pulling out of a turn...
The Sea Hawk trundling towards the active RWY; unfortunately, as with the Swordfish, she didn't fly due to the weather.
However, the Sea Vixen flew though
Was good to see her fly again.
Another type I'd not seen fly, the de Havilland Vampire, very nimble little jet.
And the Vampire's cousin, the de Havilland Venom, also a nimble little jet.
Next up, the Surprise Visitor!
