Welcome to my Gallery - with pictures from Airshows, Museums and Spotting locations.
This is very much still Work in Progress - so come back once in a while for new photo collections.
Note that all photos have been taken by myself in the last couple of years...

Have fun !

16./17.July 2017 - RAF Fairford

Took a bus trip with 4Aviation for the Sunday show and the Monday departures..Really good organization, but still a challenge.. 4 complete days and only 5 hours in a real (hotel)bed.. Anyway: Sunday was mostly overcast with an intermittent low cloudbase that only allowed for flat or rolling displays. Luckily, all planned displays could be performed. Needless to say, RIAT is THE biggest military airhow in Europe .. and they proved it. USAF Thunderbirds, Raptor Display, Surprise B2 Flypast, Ukrainian SU27 Display , UK Apache Display with lots of pyrotechnic, U2, B1, B52 in static display .. Couteau Delta etc etc...
And Monday was not less interesting with most of the visiting aircraft departing in a 5 hour timeframe. Too bad the big boys (B52 and B1) only left on tuesday...
Anyway , the trip was absolutely worth the effort!
