Opening RIAT 2024 Jet demo - RDAF F16

The first of many RIAT 2024 films to come for anyone interested and wanting to 'relive' the show. Royal Danish Air Force F-16 solo with Captain Troels (callsign "Teo") Vang. This is the full show bar 30 seconds or so that I've had to edit out. Hope you enjoy -https://youtu.be/YyMnnHVr2dg

The stabilisation in camera can be set at 3 different levels, but the top level isn't available wh...

Hi Guys, is the practise display at Cosford going to be tomorrow?, if so any ideas of times because planning a run down from Aberdeen.
Thank you.
Last 'rumour' I read on this site earlier today was that the Couteau Delta practice/training will be at 1545 Zulu today.

Re: Catering

Does anyone know what the plans are for catering vans this year? I personally thought last year was worse than normal. They were serving up exotic spicey stuff instead of bog standard bacon buttys!! Apart from the weather that was my biggest problem with last year. I hope they can revert back to no...

Re: Camera Upgrade Suggestions (for videos)

As always whatever you go for will be a compromise. I've been using a Sony FDR-AX53 since 2016 and had an AXP-33 before that.

Re: Canon R7 "Black out"

Possibly caused by electromagnetic interference of the camera by equipment on the aircraft. Here’s a link to an article about the presence of magnets in cameras and lenses and their susceptibility to magnetic fields - https://www.tamaggo.com/2023/08/24/are- ... agnetized/
