Yeovil Air Day Part 2:- The first displays

[cspyro21]

Continued on:-


A very good first display from the army's helicopter display force, the 'Blue Eagles'. They have 4 Gazelles and a Lynx, and are very good at what they do. It must take a lot of practice to loop a Lynx, after all.


Then the world famous Red Arrows arrived, all 11 of them (the two spare aircraft). Their display was later in the day.


And then, the Sepecat Jaguar arrived, wonderful display. Damn loud though, with full AB's going the gorund shook and I was rather deafened.  ;D


*Hehe* Merlin. I love these helicopters, it's like a cross between a CH-47 and a Lynx, quite versatile and so, well, useable. Great chopper.

Next: The battle of Britain Flypast (part 1)

They are my "Home town display team, The blue eagles" Best helicopter display team in the world. Very nice pictures.

Thats the one!! I thought it had 'Blue' in it. I didn't know they came from your home town (wherever that may be  ;D)!!!
They are very good, gotta agree with you.
Thanks for the comments!

Wonderful shots, I'd love to hear a Jaguar in real life..

Middle Wallop in Hampshire. about 40 miles east of Yeovil.

If you know what a Hawk sounds like, multiply it by 2, and add afterburners!!!

Nice shots!

^^What Charlie said^

But rather multiply it by 3 and add AB's?

I havent heard a Hawk either, but I have heard a Falcon, how is it compared to that?

Very nice. The weather looks a tad better than last year's show.

They look even better with smoke. Hope they get that nonsense sorted out for next year.  

Budget cuts would then force them to forget it due to lack of money to pay for the smoke

PS. The Jag is a very noisy aeroplane. Not as loud as a Harrier in the hover but loud.

Well, true, but I would say Harriers are louder Hagar, or maybe its because four of them were there when there was 1 Jag.....  ???

[Tweek]

Some good displays there. Can't beat the Jaguar and the Red Arrows (the Merlin is pretty impressive too!)

[cspyro21]

Yes indeed Tweek.... +1 to your comments!  :)
