Two Tails Are Better Than One

Some nice low level flight shots in this set.

Boeing 787 And Corporate Jet

Air shows are now about the only place you can go just to watch planes take off and land.  I remember as a little kid going to the local little airport and watching them with fascination.  Now, only air shows offer that experience. 

Boeing showed off one of its new 787's, and they were rolling it out while one of the corporate jets was taking off and doing its routing.  Made a lot of good photo ops!

Aerobatics, Anyone?

 Still cloudy but no rain that Friday.  Two more planes doing aerobatic tricks.  The second is definitely Euro military.  I want to say it's a Typhoon?

How Close?

 From these pictures you can see how close we were to the runway.  We sprang for seats on the bleachers at ten euros per day.  They were nice, roomy seats and we didn't have to stand on concrete like the ones in front of us.  The views, as you can see, were great.  The noise was deafening on occasion.

Stalls And Dives

 Another large cargo plane doing stunts.

C 130, Euro Version

 It actually does lift off and looks pretty graceful....
