Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

I think you mixed up the year. In 2000 RIAT was at Cottesmore.
Answers will be questioned.....

Should be 1998 if I'm correct...

1999 is the year.

The 2 An-30 in your fifth picture confirms this to my opinion.

Well, '98, '99 or whatever :P ...as far as I'm concerned only one thing counts: these defenitely are great pics! All aircraft look exactly like model kits, just flown away from a miniature city. :)
Must have been a great experience, flying over an airbase on a day like that... 8)

It sure was, although very bumpy due to the low level with a big a/c, I also managed to get some great pics of the F16's low over Britain.
It was surely a once in a lifetime expierence, I don't think many spotters can say they participated in an airshow. :wink:
