This latest airshow stuff Jim is fantastic. All we can realy expect in Ireland is a flyby by an Air Corp helicopter. Maybe the |Salthills airshow might be on the agenda this year. Some great shots there Jim. I think the last one here is probably my favourite of the lot – the power of the jet against the backdrop of the land and the size of the pilot against it all is just something else.
ALan.
Thanks Alan :)
It was a fun and loud weekend and I have many shots of differant planes and formation flying to go thru It could take months :lol:Jim
Magic shots Jim. I would have loved to seen this show
Last shot is a gem as Alan mentioned, the backdrop and scale works fantasticDee
The 3rd image down is an incredible shot, I love planes and your shots of the Raptor are sooo sharp. What type of lens did you use?
Cool shots Jim, excellent.
Wish I was there.
Whereabouts was this show?? Not in Ireland i’m guessing.
Thanks for your comments,
Jonathan, there were shot with a canon 70-300 IS USM.
Constantine, This show was at Langley A.F.B. in Virginia.
Lovely work there Jim. I can only imagine the noise and power of these
beasts. Really well done…Rob.

Afraid not. The Salthill airshow has been cancelled for this year.. :cry: They’re hoping to bring it back next year but nothings certain yet.
Baldonnell Airshow hasn’t been on since 2000, so as far as airshows go in Ireland, …… :roll:
I know there are smaller ones, but for some real excitement, you really need to see some military might![sigh] Oh well…
Leo.
Oh. Almost forgot. Jim, love the shots!
Thanks for your comments Rob and Leo.
The noise from this plane is deafining.Jim
Sweet shots of a sweet plane! There’s only 3 flying and a ban on exports too! 1 will be making an appearance at RAF Fairford and possibly Farnborough. Much prefer a mig 29 or a Sukhoi myself :lol:
