Sorry they are are a bit late, but I thought these might go down well. Especially with those who like adventurous paint jobs [:0]
Some pics of mine from the Royal International Air Tattoo, RAF Fairford, July 2003
COOL!
Thanks for posting those amazing pix!
Great pics of some truly amazing subjects! For some reason, I’m drawn to the Stealth flying in formation. Very cool shot.
Thanks for sharing!

glad you like 'em
demon, the organisers at RIAT always try to pull off something unusual and photo-worthy each year, and it often involves a formation with the Red Arrows [;)]
They used to do it with Concorde a fair bit, and it was pretty cool when the Eurofighter/Typhoon did it a few years back on its airshow debut.
I’ve always been surprised with the agility of the F117. Okay it’s not an Extra 300, but for all its weird characteristics it seems to fly and turn pretty well.
oh, and the first one is a British Army Apache. Hope you folks got the rest right! [:D]
Those are some great paint, set the mind to thinking. Oh no here i go again.
Hi U-96,
That’s an X-32 on the 5th pic, right? Is that the real thing or just a mock-up.
Just asking…[;)]
It was just a model I’m afraid. There was also a cool 1:1 mock-up of the engine and lift fan next to it 
However, I think it was the Typhoon’s first airshow appearance in RAF livery, as opposed to the civilian BAe scheme we’ve become used to.
DAMN i won a pair of tickets …but couldn’t go …[other commitments]
looked like a fantastic weekend…great pics u96 …
Way cool!

WOW!!!
Who’d have thought you could still see Mirage IVs at an airshow (or anywhere else these days) I thought the French had retired their entire fleet of them about 5 years ago.
German colour birds are always something to see wherever the show up too.
Thanks for sharing
upnorth, glad you picked up on the Mirage IV. I’d never seen one for real before, which is why I took the photo [:D] Beautiful, massive plane.
This one was adapted for photo-recon. You can just about make out the camera windows in the opened bomb bay door. I guess they held a few back for this purpose, the same as us Brits hold onto our PR Canberras [;)]
[:D]Hey U-96!
Many thanks for sharing those photo’s with the rest of us. Those Tornado’s look great and I was especially pleased to see the Typhoon in RAF colours at long last[:D][^]
Due to work commitments I missed this year’s air tattoo yet again. Hopefully, I’ll make it in 2004[;)].
Thanks again,
Darren.
