The Royal International Air Tattoo

This air show is held at RAF Fairford and is expensive (around 35 pounds a person) Dave really wanted to go but felt bad about buying such an expensive ticket. I said it would be a fun birthday present for him and a buddy to go together. A couple of days later we found out that it was free for all military ID card holders if we went on Sunday 18 of July. We decided to go as a family and made a weekend of it. The amount of people was unreal, it's so big that it's deemed "the worlds largest military air show." Most of our pictures aren't very good, but it is hard to capture a great shot with a low quality camera on a fast moving airplane and 2000 people in your way.


F22




Vulcan



French Demonstration team



A400M



B52 Bomber



Miller Goofy Shots

The planes were loud, really loud especially because we were so close to the runway; however Ava managed to fall asleep during the F22 demo. Go figure?
