Nice shots, but isn't it customary to do an airshow unarmed? Unless of course it is an improvised show over a combat area, then I see the need for the armament.

Aye, it's supposed to be like a tactical demonstration. I've seen a few of them at NAS Willow Grove. :)

The Boeing Super Hornet displays carrying a full weapons load.
The only time I've seen a normal display performed when armed though.

Indeed, F3.

As far as I know, the only time they were armed was at Fairford.

Are you flying your F-16 for the 'SimV show' armed as well? ???



;)

Nope (except for the sidewinders on the wingtip points which can't be removed).

As far as I know, the only time they were armed was at Fairford.

It displayed armed at the Farnborough show a week later as well :)

Great shots Rimshot!!  :)
Although dont the US also have Hogs at RAF Lakenheath? I remember this article.... "Hogs at the Heath" in AFM... :)

Not really. Sometimes you see aircraft armed with the ordnance painted in the paint schemes aswell. Im hinting here at the Belgian Tigers.  ;)

I've asked Rimshot to bring weaponry as I may need to be shot down to put myself (and all the spectators) out of their misery during my routine.. ;)
Love the 10 shots Rim, I've been thinking about how to use it in this month's screen comp...
