Nightshoot
Last night I attended my last planned aviation event of the year. I went up to North Weald to visit Weald Aviation's "Flight Night" Nightshoot. This is the first shot from the night for now, I will be posting more shortly.
The Kennet Aviation Skyraider runs up to full power in front of a crowd of photographers during the Weald Aviation "Flight Night" Nightshoot held at North Weald.
Returning to Roost
A brace of Spitfires roll out from their landing at Duxford after the end of their display at the 2011 Duxford Airshow.
The 2011 Duxford Airshow featured a 7 ship Spitfire scramble and display to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the first flight of the Spitfire prototype K5054 at Eastleigh Aerodrome in Hampshire.
Goodwood Revival
A Supermarine Spitfire FR14E performs a display at the first day of the 2011 Goodwood Revival held at Goodwood Aerodrome. Goodwood Aerodrome was formally known as RAF Westhampnett during WWII when Spitfires were based on the airfield during its time as a satelite station to RAF Tangmere.
Climb
An F-15E Strike Eagle clears the runway during the September Airshow at IWM Duxford, after a low overshoot, with plenty of afterburner and vapour forming over the upper surfaces of the wing.
This was its final manuvere of the display before it returned to RAF Lakenheath where this F-15E is based as part of the USAFs 48th Fighter Wing (Statue of Liberty Wing).
Dunsfold Wings and Wheels Saturday
Today has been a fantastic day at Dunsfold for the first day of the Wings and Wheels airshow, unfortunately the weather did not hold off for the whole day and we were treated to a couple of small rain showers but the clouds made a great backdrop for the aircraft and we were treated to a great airshow. The forecast for tomorrow is looking promising, so here is hoping for another great day out! Here are just a handful of images I have had time to look at since getting home this evening:
Gerlad Cooper flies along the crowd line whilst wowing the crowd at the 2011 Dunsfold Wings and Wheels airshow with his amazing aerobatic display in his new Sbach 300.
Golden Apple's North American F-86A Sabre roars through a darkening sky whilst displaying at the Dunsfold Wings and Wheels 2011 airshow.
A Hawker Sea Fury T.20 and Hawker Hunter F.58A perform a flypast at the Dunsfold Wings and Wheels airshow to honour the Hawker heritage at the airfield, as both these aircraft have strong ties to Dunsfold Aerodrome.
Three Hawker Hunters of Team Viper perform a high speed flypast towards the end of their display at the opening day of the 2011 Dunsfold Wings and Wheels Airshow.
