MigBuster Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Yep new camera required it seems!! and I missed the Vulcan taxiing with the B-52 doh!! Quote
+ST0RM Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Nice static line. That RF-4 is awesome! Looks like the weather was hit and miss, but much better than last year. My best friend flew over from Kansas, just to attend this and the show at Waddington. He's finishing up a 3 week photo vacation over there. I can't wait to see his photos. He got rained out last year. Thanks for sharing. I would have loved to be there. -Jeff Quote
Hokum Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Nice shots, looks like you got it wet. I took over 1500 images, so i have a few to review. I'll post some up when i've processed some. It was nice and dry on the saturday... Edited July 20, 2009 by Hokum Quote

Those shots were mostly in the 10 min sun interval before the next downpour!! hopefully your friend got some shots of the Vulcan and B-52 taxiing - not something you see every day - in fact i think Fairford is one of the few bases that can take 52s!!

MaverickMike Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) Yeah - I gathered thanks - was the Orange F-16AM there on the sat? Yeah the orange f-16 was awesome. According to the commentary he pulled a few 9g turns during the show. I have pics of the Vulcan taxiing and the b-52 with the drag chute deployed on landing but I can't upload them cos they are too big. Even tried it one by one and I can't even upload a single pic.

Mike Yeah that paint scheme looks great i must admit - put on a good show! Just resize the photos to a lower resolution - say 800x400 for example - you need a program that can do it though. If not install gimp, open up the photo and go to image->scale image then "save as" .jpg - (as in don't save the original) - even better make a copy of the original then resize it! Quote
MaverickMike Posted July 20, 2009 Posted July 20, 2009 Ok will do. Ill try and get some of them up here 2moro as im off work. Gotta say though its the first big airshow I have been to and personally, i thought it was truly amazing. I went along with my father, two brothers and uncle and we have all said that we will be going to RIAT 10 next year without a doubt. Highlight of the show for me was definately the vulcan. It was just awe-inspiring watching that graceful bird in the air. Fu***ng BRILLIANT!!!!!!! Mike Quote

Mike For the F16 demo lovers see "Home of the dutch F16 solo display team RNlAF" as well as Youtube, and for the F16 AND Vulcan AND Hunter addicts see under Youtube "Volkel Vulcan Demo" where Sqldr Martin Withers formates with the orange demo F16 and the beautiful new Hunter F6 of the Dutch Hunter flight.... Have fun, Derk Edited July 20, 2009 by Derk Quote
