RIAT Pictures (loads)
Following on from the few I posted earlier, heres more!!
What a cracking week, the weather conspired to make us damp but also meant that there were some great vapour shots to be had.
A selection of the images from the week











Easily the best display of the weekend













Stunning, simply stunning.





Spot the odd one out!

Brilliant! Think every pic I've ever seen of G-222s at RIAT have those vapour trails coming off the props - an indictment of the prevailing weather conditions at so many!
Love the cap of vapour on the Swiss F-18 canopy!
You going to Farnborough?

See what you mean about the vapour shots - really adds to the whole sense of the forces at work.
Is it just me, or are the AMRAAMS on that US Navy Super Hornet at a fairly obvious divergent angle? What's more - why?

Nice shots, MotF. Didn't realise you were there Monday, I'd have come and said hello. I was further up the flight line.
You can see 'my' balloons here www.stevelevien.com/riatballoons04.htm The dog was amazing!

Prop spirals are fairly common on damp days (great pics MOTF, especially the F-15E departing)

Saw your name in the programme and nearly gave you a buzz, then noticed a mahoosive Bulldog floating across the Flightline and figured you may be busy.

Oustanding pics from RIAT ol son!
I may be interested in a commercial or barter arrangement for a few of your Hornet pics for a book project I'm working on. Same goes for anyone else who has any recent high quality Hornet or Super Hornet pics.
Please email me at...

...if you're interested.
Cheers

These are quite the finest photographs I have seen of The Air Tattoo this year.
Very well done and thanks for sharing them with us. You should turn professional.

MOTF,
Absolutely amazing pictures, very good quality.
Do you mind sharing what you are using to take the pictures. Are they digital or film. What lens /camera combination are you using?

I have sold my soul to the god of the Pixel, its a Canon D60 with (usually) a 100-400L IS Lens but in a couple of cases I was lent a 500L lens by the very nice Japenese guy sitting near to me in the stand, its an amazing lens but a bit out of my price range.
