Something to consider...

All images I have posted thus* far are just from Thursday arrivals, which was the last day of the three arrival days.

*excluding the first few test posts.

In summary Thursday consisted of:
-3X F-16 solo practice displays.
-2X FA-18 solo practice displays.
-1X SU-27 solo practice display.
-Red Arrows practice display.
-Frecce Tricolori practice display.
-Constant stream of both military and civilian aircraft.

Even before the air show started it was a great show. All in all not a bad way to spend a Thursday.

Below is a final image from Thursday, it was inspired by a photo taken by Rich Cooper of a SU-30. I used creative license on this one for effect.

Starting Friday air how photos off with, Couteau Delta flying the Mirage 2000D.

These guy's are amazing they do everything at full afterburner. most of the display is flown with the air brakes deployed. I guess this is done to deliver a dramatic high noise display plus have instant power when needed for the intricate maneuvers.

Since we are all Mirage Mad I have posted a few extra images of this display.

Not the greatest shot, but the best of this sequence. Still think its worth posting though.
