Farnborough Air Show 2008

2008.07.19
11:50AM.
The flight display was about to begin an I finally managed to get in the
air field.
(the day started early in the moorning and my camera settings, as you can see, were not updated :( )

The Red Arrows and a bit Heart to all the crowd

Another passage and an overview of the field

A380 and the crowd :)

Tilt rotor: finally!! :)

What a bigggg wing! :)
10mm lense ;)

As I moved down on the field the crowd was bigger and bigger....

Russian fighter own by Germans

Meanwhile... the airshow is made up pf queues... :D

... and people from all over the world.
Most of them trying to capture the best angles and images...

... the kids... they love aircrafts...
but icreams and fun is also welcome ;)

And thats all for the first day.
It's time to go home while the airfield slowly gets empty of all that huge crowd...

Goooooooodddd Moooooooorninggggggg Faaaaarnborooooooough!
(oh sorry, I guess I've heard something like this... but I just can't remember where... :P)

Catalina was really an attraction.
Check out all the guys on the ATC tower balcony ;)

Again the arrows

And... YES!

While the crowd enjoyed this afterburner sound...

...others get scarred with it :(
Oh yes!
There's nothing like your mother's arms ;)

Eurofighter: time to land.

F16 about to touch-down.

F18 and some arrows parked

VULCAN!
Search over the internet and you'll understand why they call it like this ;)

Canards and nose detail.

Powerfull displays must be prepared ;)

Cargo An26

Reverse!

Eurofighter!

F16

F18

And a lucky star :)
