RIAT 2008 - View past the stunning French Mirage of part of the static display, during the Saturday of the cancelled show. French, Italian, German, Greek, Czech & Hungarian aircraft with nobody to view them.
All three of the F-22's in a very rare moment of them all being outside & in some sunshine! This was before the terrible weather forced the RIAT 2008 airshow to be cancelled. 05-4094/FF “94 FS” at the far end. 05-4101/FF “1 FW” in the middle. 04-4082/FF “
Something different? I saw this the last time I saw the team, from behind the scenes. This RIAT I was ready...! Who said the MB-339 doesn't have an after burner..? 8-) (caught on start-up, lasts about 2 seconds only, as the ignitors catch the fuel)
Just departed Abu Dhabi, on their way home to the UK. 4 of the Red's in close formation with our A340-600, at 9,000 feet. Thanks to Etihad Airways for the unique chance to get a unique photo.
J4046 leading a 3 ship team, seen taking part in the Al Ain Airshow 2005, simply stunning colours and close flying.
