RIAT Airshow Saturday Display! (31 pics)

Just got back from RIAT today, was the best airshow I’ve ever been to! Sadly, as I don’t have a very good camera, I didn’t get very good shots, but hopefully these will give you an idea of how good it was!

I’m not sure where the B1s are based actually, I’ve seen pics of a few in America and Malta…

Not sure what camera I want yet, I want one that I know will provide me with quite a few decent close-up shots of the little fighters that are too far away for my current camera to take photos of!

It wasn’t that loud actually, but on take-off – we could hardly see for the smoke as we were really close to the runway. The B-1 was much louder!

I’m probably getting a new camera at the end of this year, so hopefully next year’s selection will be better. 🙂

Thanks for the comments!

Cool 😎 Is there B1 bomber’s based in RAF Midlehall? Any ideas what camera you want 😀

The shots give a good impression of the show. It seems the camera has difficulty with focussing on planes in the air. That’s something you cannot really blame yourself for.

Very nice – like the shot of the Mustang in front of the B-1 – nice comparison shot.

Thanks for the comments – APC104, think the A7 in the tiger scheme is actually Greek.
RobAnt – Yeah, I only did a quick crop and everything as I was too tired to mess around with the lighting and everything.

Here are some more:

Yes you did, you just need to sharpen some of them, that’s all.

If these are pretty much straight of the camera, they’re fine.

Thanks for posting the shot. Top work fella.

Is that an A7 in the tiger scheme – Portugese I guess?
