There’s a story behind this one so I decided to put it up.
For almost 4 years now old Magoo has been trying to capture one of the red kite birds that leisurely circle over our house on a regular basis and he’s failed miserably! Hundreds and hundreds of attempts and not a single one deserving of putting up. Four years. Sigh. Chuckle.
These fighter jets on the other hand, occasionally pass over and nothing about them is leisurely, you hear them coming at a terrific rate of knots , they are on you with a roar and then whoosh - gone. I’ve never had a camera with me when they do - or not with the right lens anyhow. But on this day I did have and was in a good place in the garden.
I heard it coming, no time to lift my 20x magnifier, no time to think or check aperture or exposure, I just turned towards the noise and then it was on me, unseen but without thinking I guessed at height and direction and spun around to get ahead of it, paused an instant and then hit the shutter button - one shot. No time to see if I had been unbelievably lucky for there was another one coming. I quickly turned towards it, made the same guess, spun ahead, paused and fired! Again, one shot.
I lifted up my 20x magnifier to take a look and see what if anything I had - the shots were taken so I knew I had clouds but I was beyond flabbergasted to discover I had caught the very fast moving jet not once, but twice. Honestly, I stood there stunned, it seemed….insane. It still does. Of course I didn’t know if they were sharp or blurred I can never tell even with the 20x but as you can see it was sharp, they both were.
Two shots, two hits on the lightening fast jet I think earns Magoo the title of ‘Topgun’ on this occasion at least, whilst my attempts at the slow moving kites earn me an empty water pistol award. Hopefully, I’ll be successful one day but until then these two photos give me cause for optimism and still raise a bemused and amazed smile and quite a bit of head scratching:^)
The USAF Lockheed Martin F22A Raptor is quite simply fantastic to watch perform with breath-taking manoeuvres which leave you wondering how can something perform like this and with what seems such little effort. I looked forward to seeing this display after watching last years display at RIAT and it just gets better and better.

Lots of hype and excitement and anticipation to see the USAF Thunderbirds display team perform again in the UK again after a few years of absence which didn't disappoint too much. A good display made much better by the fact of the love of the F16 Fighting Falcon aircraft producing lots of noise and excitement for most watching.
