That is quite a bit of paint on the PAF C-130, new weight and balance I'm sure. The RAF fly past really shows the F-35 form, and I agree with some pics I've see of the plane shaped like a dolphin. Compared to the Tiffy and even the Hawk, the -35 is not a good looking jet.

Quite a size difference between the F-22 and F-35.

Part two incorporates Saturdays flying display. Weather was pretty dire throughout really, but at least it didn't rain & there was lots of fluff on the aircraft as well which is always a bonus.

Superb!

Cheers guys. More to come next week, was hoping to upload Sunday's efforts either today or tomorrow but our internet is in the process of being changed (typing on my phone atm) so it's probably going to be next week I think. On the plus side I've been going through my pics from departures day & I'm very pleased with some of them ☺

Post by **shaggy22** » 29 Aug 2016, 12:42

Final part of the show days section of RIAT 2016 this time covering Sundays action. It was certainly a challenge to take good photos in with the light changing almost by the minute, one minute you'd have almost no light followed almost immediately by the sun coming out. Unfortunately led to a few flying cancellations with the Turkish F16 & the Pat Suisse falling foul of very poor weather at the start of the day. Although this did lead to a genius display by the Pat Suisse taxiing up & down the runway in formation, this'll be on you tube somewhere I hope. Also the Heritage flight was incomplete again but this time the Raptor went tech halfway during it's display, so it just A P-51 (Miss Helen) & a USAF F-35A
