Airbourne 2003

A well balanced show again from Eastbourne. Highlights certainly were the RAF Chinook SAR (!) demo and of course a very low demo by the Sea Vixen.

Love that last Tornado pic. You can almost feel the heat from those burners.

Great pics Airshowsorguk, thanks for showing us. Particularly like the Sea Vixen down and dirty shot – love those with it all hanging out!

Eastbourne is a great place – I’m showing my age 🙂 So glad it’s been incident free during another incident strewn year.

Yep, Rutan Varieze’s. They flew a great routine on three days of the show and certainlt added a different look. I didn’t expect them to perform formatiom aerobatics either.

I think they may be a pair of Rutan Varieze things, looks like they have been left out in the sun to long and have melted.

I don’t think those pictures are close enough-couldn’t zoom in a bit more next time, could you?! LOL, well done!

As I have an Aunty in Eastbourne, I had the pleasure of attending every day of Airbourne last year, with great weather each day, and my pick of vantage points each day-watched the Lanc from the end of the pier one day, the beach the next, and so on. Great stuff! 😀
