Challenging light after lunchtime but a pretty good airshow (and free though security queue very slow)-

Oh to see the "Blues " again! Only seen them fly twice, Hucknall 1973 with their Phantoms and Finningley in the 90's. Although I've been to the US four times and visited base where they were scheduled to fly, my tour organisers always left before they flew! Plenty of ground shots but none in the air except for Finningley. Come on RIAT - get them booked!

Wow, some real nice hardware on display there... thanks for sharing these pictures with us!

That t-33 shot is excellent. Got any of the B-26K in flight?

[PeteF]

Dear Sparts99, sadly all my B-26k pics in flight are backlit and not great quality.

Great shots of some rarer war-birds & the modern stuff aint too shabby either! In answer to your question "where else could one see a B1/B2/B52 in approximately the same patch of sky?" I believe that would have been Edwards AFB Air-show in the 90's! (Can't seem to pin the date down )

I believe the following as well.

Barksdale Airshow 2015
Oshkosh 2017
Super Bowl 2021 Tampa

Ellesworth has a great museum as well.
