Bray Air Show 2016
« on: July 25, 2016, 12:53:07 PM »
On Sunday, I went to the Bray Airshow, along John and Roisin, and the big daughter (first air show for her! :) )
Well, we were not disappointed!

One of the best Airshow I have seen in a very very long time! Great line up!
Red Arrows (opening), Spitfire, Seafire, the Patrouille Tranchant on the good old Fougas, the Breitling Wingwalkers, the Swedish Memorial flight with the rare Draken and Viggen, Pitts Aerobatic team, the Irish Memorial flight, and the Frecce Tricolori! All that in one day!
But the Tricolori display alone was worth the trip big time! Great show!

Anyway, 700 photos, here are very few (sorry for the grain and color, did it quick)

Education is important, but flying RC planes and gliders is importanter!

Frecce Tricolori are always very impressive !  :o :-X

I like your shots, seems Frecce flies like "a bunch of planes in a jerking box", where the Reds are more british style : line up and finger on the seam !...

It's a long time I've not seen the Frecce...

Happy Days

Lovely stuff Fred. 8) I should have been there myself.....but that's another story :'(.

I'm envious!
Try not to run out of airspeed, altitude and ideas....... all at the same time.
