Nice set .. much better angles than mine .. probably due to me being half a mile away
Like the Red devils .. they just circled about 5 times on Friday and then flew off without jumping
Seem to have a reddish haze in the cloud on the single Red Arrow though?
May be my laptop.

No, I think it's real - I changed the WB to 'cloudy' (which it was!) on that one, and it's come out looking rather warmer than the others, which I left 'as shot'.Seem to have a reddish haze in the cloud on the single Red Arrow though?

I'll probably change that one, but I'm all edited out for now.

Good stuff Chris. I particularly like the way you have caught the F18 exhaust bloom - I can only catch that on helicopters. The picture of the Devil rather nicely shows just how vast that flag is.

It was pretty dramatic when the Typhoon took off in front of me, too:

A good set of photos. I have no idea what all the planes are - except the first one , but my two favourite photos are the one of the Red Devil and the last one - the triplane.
Had too many Chinooks fly over me rattling my rib cage to be thrilled by a photo of one I'm afraid.

Chris, i'm not sure about your subjects composed in the dead centre of the image and tightly cropped. At least, I'd prefer to see some space in front of the subject so that they have compositional space to fly into, if you know what I mean.
Have they been cropped?
The Airbus shot is great and I like it, it's a sharp shot, but I would love to see a little space at it's nose though.

The F-22A did fly and the F16 and F18 were not the only US fighters.
