The Airshow was not really a photo log for me this year. Last show I took 1100 photos, this show I would be lucky to have taken 100 but I promise..... There are some serious photos in that 100.
Give me a chance to catch my breathe and I will post some pics
@MudRunnerTD looking forward to them, they were amazing last year.
Having some issues with Tappa. Not liking video.??

The drip trays in the pic below confirm this think leaks like an old Landie!! Check the oil everywhere and the portable fire extinguisher on stand by haha! Freaking awesome plane though. They flew displays a few years back and are absolute monsters of the sky!

If you're interested, here's an excellent article from Popular Mechanics, January 1988:

I think it was the one Kallen showed me, designed to glow red at altitude from memory
Yeah those Blackbirds could fly up around 80,000 ft and over Mach 3 from what I've heard/read. Nothing around today that can match that, but that capability must be low priority now as they would have advanced on that if the need was still there.Quote:

Yes I've been and unfortunately I did not logon to the forum since I left home mid February to see your message. Would have been good to catch up.
Went Saturday and Sunday as one day is not long enough to see everything if you watch most of the flying display. Brilliant show and so well run.
The F35 only did a few flybys on Saturday but the F22 was unbelievable on both days.
Will be back in 2 yrs for the next one.

I'll bring it up on the forum prior to next show and arrange to meet somewhere at the show on one of the days.
