Some stuff from Saturday at Fairford in the UK. Not as stellar a line-up as for the one that was cancelled last year but pretty good flying and at least the weather stayed dry for the day!

The ubiquitous Red Arrows



Dassault Rafale B



The 'BUFF'. I'm not saying shes not nimble but they stuck another plane up for display between passes wink



One of three F18's, this being the Finnish one



One of a couple of Grippens to fly



Avro Vulcan XH558



A very striking Dutch F16



The Typhoon



And the Frecce Tricolori to finish



Full sets can be found by clicking here

Wow, great pics, and a great looking show! Rafales, Typhoons, F-16s, Gripens, and more - I'm jealous!

Edit Reason: Corrected the spelling of Rafales

Thanks. First time i've seen a Rafale in the flesh and they really threw it around, very impressive and very loud. Grippens (one Swedish, one Hungarian) were also very impressive, not to mention surprisingly small when you see them on the ground.
