America's Finest

Fairford, Gloucestershire

The Thunderbirds are the USAF air display team - and they are amazing!

This shot is not a trick - those planes really are that close and flying at 400 mph!!!!

Taken at today's Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, Gloucestershire.

A few more pics from there still to process. Meanwhile to see how it looked with the sun out,
please visit the maestro, Neil Nordic, who was there Saturday. His pictures are so sharp! dammit!




From my Aviation gallery.

I bet that's handy for when they're trying to find a parking space...

I was standing much closer to the display line and it was hard to get them in the frame at 400mm, there were awesome and I do like the way you have framed them here....
