So there's been a few air displays on today and the RAF Typhoon and Red Arrows were based at the airport that's in my village so popped along to get a few snaps. The Sigma 70-200mm was intermittently playing up but between that I got a few images off

All Pentax K3ii & 70-200mm

I know it's just one aircraft, but these don't have the same impact as the Arrows set

I see what you're saying. It's an awesome machine though, the noise it makes as it fast passes you at some silly low height

First is the best, especially if you click on the picture to get the full size. Could do with the shadows lifting just a touch though. You did well to get so close with 200mm.

Thanks Mike. Yeah, this is how close they were to use! The pair are taking off tomorrow at 10am but I'll be in work

Better?

Lifted the shadows in the undercarriage and added more space under the plane, cloning more sky into it so I could lift the plane higher into the frame
