A-10
They're pretty big up close! The crew were selling T-shirts out of the napalm tanks. It's not often you get so close as this, and be able to touch the aeroplane. I hope they gave it a good checkover before the next flight!

B-1 with vortices
This one has its wings forward, and its reheats full on, as it climbs away steeply from a fly-by. It was a damp day, which gave rise to the water vapour vortices off the wingtips.

F-117A on the ground
The F-117 is a very odd looking aeroplane. Even when you stand right next to it, it looks almost insubstantial, due to the non-reflective paint.

Hercules delivery
C-130's at airshows like to show the crowd different things from time to time. Here, the aircraft is dropping some supplies out of the back, attached to a parachute which is just starting to open. The bulbous nose probably contains extra radar equipment.
This variant is an MC-130H Combat Talon II. It is used to deliver troops and supplies for covert operations.

Hercules bright
I like the way this looks, with the sun making it so bright against a dark sky. But, it was far away on the other side of the airfield which is why it's so small.

MH-53 Troop Pickup
This MH-53 Pavelow is demonstrating troops picking up other troops in the field. It's big, noisy and excellent.

MH-53
Here it is again, climbing away with the men now on board. The door is half-closed now, but you can just make out a chap leaning out.

Hawk - Red Arrows crew
Another look at the Red Arrows, with their crew walking out to them before the display. Despite the looming clouds, they performed to their usual excellent standard.
