Description


These aircraft are part of the United States Air Force aerial demonstration team, the 'Thunderbirds'. They perform airshows every year nationwide and have performed in many countries overseas. They have been flying F-16 'Falcons' since 1985. By performing at various bases, they are trying to entice new recruits to join the service. This picture was taken on 20 March 2005 during an airshow at Luke Air Force Base, Glendale, Arizona. Thank you for viewing and commenting on my last upload.

Awesome capture, perfect in frame Sig I would enjoy a trip to an airshow, would be ideal for photographers and aircraft enthusiasts alike. We have them over here but usually somewhere down south of England I think.

Although I've never had the pleasure to see them first hand, my grandson has and he still talks about it. This is a fabulous capture, especially since I know how fast they must have been moving.

We have a very famous team called the Red Arrows Sig, they perform at different airshows up and down the country. Alan says mostly down south, we have one pretty close actually about twenty miles away at Woodford Aerodrome, aircraft used to be built there by Hawker Sidley. I don't know how often they have them though. Excellent close group capture Sig, I wish I had the nerve to fly so close, and they call aircraft on the same flight level a mile apart a near miss.lol. Superb work. Bravo!!!!!

A cracking capture, Sig. I've never got to an air show, although I was buzzed 25 years ago between Elgin and Forres by a Tornado, while I was learning to drive, but I have witnessed plenty of near things over Glasgow. In the Douglas Valley, south towards Carlisle, there used to be lots of low-flying practice by the RAF and visiting forces. The rules stated that aircraft should stay at least 500' / 160m above the land. They tended to interpret that as 500' above sea-level, except of course, where that would mean flying below ground. Lots of the local livestock dropped calves and lambs prematurely because of the overflights, but if you had a camera handy one could get a good shot.. The MOD deny it all, in the same way that there are never any road 'nuclear convoys' through Scotland to get to Faslane naval base. Strange that most folk in the area, and the local papers have plenty of photos, even before camera phones, to prove otherwise... ;o) Scotland's Parliament have repeated that they do not wish nuclear weapons on Scottish soil, but Westminister hinted that even if Scotland gained independence she would still have English nuclear subs and bombers on Scottish soil.. The price one pays for a mistake in 1707. End of rant. Have a nice week, my friend. Regards, John.

Well done! As Jeff says, we have the Red Arrows, and they come to Bournemouth every year, and I've never managed a good shot, so now I just sit at the beach hut and watch !

Wonderful shot of these beautiful jets, Sig. Even at 1/2500 of a second, you didn't quite stop them; great job keeping them in the frame.
