Airborne Airshow @ Eastbourne, on the sea front, 20th Aug'06

Another day trip to the coast. Beautiful and sunny all morning, then as the flying started, clouds started to appear. By the mid point, the weather was quite overcast, with huge black clouds coming closer. It did mean the air was very humid though, many a/c you don't see make clouds, did today....!

French AF Mirage 2000
Another 1st time visitor, and very welcome, to Airborne...

...as he too made loads of his own clouds, as the blue skies faded away

Always a great display, and this was no exception...

...as have never seen the M2000 make this much cloud.

RAF Chinook
Always impressive...

...thrown about a lot for a big machine...

...hard to not freeze those massive blades in a photo!

The weather is about to turn for the worse....

The RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight

RAF Hawk

RAF Merlin

Royal Netherlands AF AB412
Their search and rescue unit, hope they don't carry all the rescued like this though...!
