I was lucky to watch the first day of this year Bournemouth Air Festival, UK's biggest airshow. Not all shots are as close and sharp as I would like them to be, but hope you enjoy them.
The Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, the Red Arrows, were the highlight of the show. They are nine modern BAE Systems Hawk T1 jet planes that can do all sorts of flying formations and manoeuvres:
#1 Red Arrows.
#2 Red Arrows. See why they are called that?
#3 Red Arrows flying upside down in a "Diamond" formation.
#4 Red Arrows. IMHO the most spectacular manoeuvre called "Tornado".
#5 The lady is having a little stretch. No one likes sitting on the planes
#6 Standing on the planes seems more fun
#7 Not sure what this manoeuvre is called...
#8 Some more upside down synchronised flying in a group of two...
#9 and in a group of three
A couple of WW2 legends
#10 Bristol Blenheim twin-engined Mk1 bomber
#11 B-17 Flying Fortress, Sally B. Have you spotted Sally?
