Went to Fairford yesterday (preview)...chucked it down most of the day until about 3pm. Grabbed some piccies in between the downpours:

I was bracing myself for the usual but those are a refreshing change. Do you think it's feasible to retouch the nose of the Hawk?
What's the usual?
Not sure what can be done about the nose, the black in front of it is a person just coming into view. I'm not skilled enough to replace the nose with one from another shot. Any thoughts?

Small silhouettes with frozen propellers!

Luckily I'm bored!
Careful use of clone tool, the select b/g and add blue gradient, then blur tool to smooth the edges. There are no doubt cleverer ways to do it, but I don't know them!

Very impressive LB. One of the smaller ones, looked like you just caught it going through the sonic boom with that oval gas stuff round it. Or was it venting stuff?
When the weather is humid, the vortices formed at the wingtips can make contrails. I think that's the answer anyway. Certainly no sonic booms at airshows; they look like this!
bilko said:Thanks Bilko. There was an incredible amount of moisture in the air, which exagerated any vortices generated when pulling high 'g' turns, the F-16 and F-18 looking the best.

The fastest flypast was by the Jaguar at ultra low level along the runway....almost total silence on approach, and nothing even when directly in front of you, then lots and lots of ear-splitting roar as the sound passes you. I'm guessing just a little less than the sound barrier. Fantastic!
