Seriously though, those are great photos against typical Scottish weather. Good job, and some great vape clouds too. thumbsup

BTW, you mean Venoms, right? wink

Great shots, especially with the weather you had to contend with.

8 Reds - see display Pic:



The Nine Reds and Black Hawk was a Pic of them arriving on base a couple of hours before the display. Assuming the extra Red was a spare plane brought along. No idea who was in Black Hawk - did not display.

They normally bring along a spare which would make up the 9 but assume only 8 displayed.

You did well with the poor lighting conditions. thumbsup

Nice! I love the Patrouille de France shot where one plane seems to be cutting through the smoke of the other!

Nice to see the Norwegian Vampires getting around as well. I have talked a little with the guys who fly them: Kenneth Aarkvisla and Per Strømmen. Great guys, and lucky bastards biggrin
