Wednesday was my first time at RIAT since I was 5 years old and my first time photographing aircraft, so it was one hell of an experience! Loved every minute. Must say though, I did feel very outgunned by some of the pro photographers as most had Nikon D3s with lenses the size of artillery guns whilst I was there with my D200 and tiny little 55-200mmm F4-5.6.
Need to hire a better lens next time!
Anyway here are some that I took:

C17 Globemaster

Finally, the last aircraft I saw that day due to having to go get the missus from work:
Nato E3 AWACS – Kudos to the crew for this one, two awesome fly pasts and ridiculous banking with the break. Couldn’t have made a better entrance!

Addictive isn't it, before long you'll be on the lookout for a bigger lens, then a bigger camera then a .....
