Airshow photos thread

[toasty]

It's airshow time again so get your pics in.

Here's a few from RIAT 2016 to get this started. I really struggled with the flat grey skies this year though it did brighten up in the afternoon. Hopefully, I'll do better at Farnborough.

Els bells, I need a better lens.

That a British f35 though?

Well spotted! I'll change the title.

Love that Mig shot, Jeff.

Off to Farnborough for a second chance tomorrow.

Some really great shots posted so far!

Just the one from me, the F-22 demo really was something special.

Stunning shot, as usual, Lloyd. I saw from the Flickr page you were using the 200-400. I've reached my financial limit with the 100-400 + 1.4x but wondered if you thought the 2-4 was worth the expenditure over a large prime? I guess portability has something to do with it as a 600 F4 isn't going to be hand held for long.

Grey skies again at RIAT yesterday though I finally managed to get a sharp one of the Apache with rotor blur.

The Su-27 brought a bit of colour to the grey.

I'm looking forward to seeing some blue sky photos for other shows.

Also, can anyone ID the plane in my photo of the silver jet above? Ta.
