Evening guys, Despite the plod's best efforts, I spent a thoroughly enjoyable day at Yeovilton for arrivals- the weather was incredible, hard to believe given it's Yeovilton weekend :grin: Thought I'd share a few pics, starting with my personal star of the day ![]() ![]() ![]() With this coming in a close second ![]() ![]() It was a bit of a Viper fest today, with eight F-16s arriving from Belgium, Holland and Denmark. All three solos performed a practice display, and were all good in their own right. Here's some of the special schemes on show, just for Karl ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The French Alpha Jets performed a nice little dogfight a la the Rafales last year on their arrival, before completing two practice displays during the day. A tidy little display, though it's much better when it's right over your head ![]() ![]() ![]() To finish, a selection of the other aircraft to arrive today, including plenty of Harriers ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() A pretty top day all round, even the sheep seemed to be enjoying themselves ![]() ![]() Thanks for looking, hope you like them. there'll likely be more from tomorrow's showday ![]() Cheers Shaun

Nice shots, thanks for posting. Hard to pick a favourite, but it's probably one of the Viprs. Nice F-4 as well. |

Blinding as usual Shaun. With all those colourful F-16's on parade I hope the Italians send their Black one over as well - would make a mini F'teen meet. |

That orange F16 fell from the sky yesterday popping off flares over Yeovil way. It didn't crash but it sure looked like it was going too! |

Superb photography, as always!! It's hard to pick out any as being better than others, but I'd say that F-16 pics 1 and 3 are mighty fine IMO! Excellent work buddy! Karl. |

Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated Mike, after previewing that Viper shot, I prayed for it to be sharp, was one of those shots where you just think yep, that's awesome :lol: Just a shame the burner was lit though, that would have been the money shot Here's a few from today's showday, from inside the base. Had a pretty tough time with the camera TBH, so I think next year I'll buy an advance ticket and watch from the field, farmer permitting of course.... Despite the problems I had, a throughly enjoyable show with some great flying ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for looking Cheers Shaun
