hurricanemk1c 195 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Hi all! Here are a 'few' photos from Fairford on the Sunday - wet start, but it cleared up for flying! Walked through the Red enterance, to be greeted by some 'models' : We were allowed into the Chinook model, so here's a shot of the cockpit of IR808 Then we walked down the static park, meeting a KC-135 along the way : A pair of F-16's from the USAF : An amusing reg on this Challenger! Turkish Stars Herky-bird as a support for the team (I think) A big C-130J Old school transport! An Il-76MD of the Ukrainian Air Force, supporting..... ....this Su-27UB An Antonov An-2 somehow flew in Pilatus P.3 B-52H Stratofortress - still can't get a whole one in! Do-228 attending next to the C-295 AWACS The C-295 AWACS Vampires and Provosts And a close-up Hunter time! ZZ190 ZZ191 C-160 Transall of the German Air Force Royal Jordanian Air Force C-130 supporting the Falcons Right, that's the first 25 out of some 103 uploaded piccies (if you think that's a lot - I took 205 in total!) - I shall post some more! Thanks for viewing! Kieran Link to post Share on other sites
allardjd 1,853 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Looks like it was a good show with a lot to see. Ugly WX though. John Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Very enjoyable Kieran, was that Su27 from India? I seem to recollect this one from my visit a couple of years ago. Link to post Share on other sites
Sabre 28 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Nice pictures Kieran, miserable looking day though. I'm hoping for good weather at the weekend as it's the Sunderland Airshow. Link to post Share on other sites
hurricanemk1c 195 Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks guys! @John - the weather went in fits and starts, but once the flying started, it mainly stayed dry, if not hot. The only extra bit of rainwas when the Saudi Hawks were going to take-off, was worried they would cancel! @Joe - Nope, the Su-27 was from the Ukraine - didn't display, but a nice fine @Sabre - hope you enjoy the show Link to post Share on other sites
ddavid 149 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 O.K. - found Part 1. Another excellent set, Kieran - again, thanks for sharing - only wish I'd been there, despite the weather! BTW, my M&D used to live by the end of the runway - those KC135's are noisy! Cheers - Dai. Link to post Share on other sites
