The Patrouille Suisse solo ships perform the mirror formation at low speed. Note the fuel-air mixture flowing out of the overpressure valve in the tail fin of the inverted aircraft. It is not a fuel leak, just the fuel system reacting to negative G loadings. Internationale Luft-und Raumfahrtausstellung (ILA) Berlin 2016.

One of the two F16Cs from he 157th Fighter Squadron (Nickname Swamp Fox) of the 169th Fighter Wing of the South Carolina National Guard is going home. Airshow London 2024.
This is something you don't want to see coming after you. The F-14A was the latest in a long tradition of Grumman fighters built for the U.S. Navy. It is a supersonic, twin-engine, variable sweep wing, two-place strike fighter. The Tomcat’s primary missions are air superiority, fleet air defense and precision strike against ground targets. While it never served on the USS Hornet, this museum is it's fitting resting place.

This year, I attended four airshows, and the Viper Demo appeared at three of them. Naturally, I took many photos of the aircraft. Now, however, I’m facing a challenge: I need to sort through all these photos and identify the ones that are different from the ones I posted before.
One of the few pictures I took on the rain-washed Saturday. Actually, I forgot to change the camera settings I used for the Griffon. Look how that turned out. I should try more long exposure panning like this in the future.

The Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer designed and produced by Aero Vodochody in the Czech Republic. In addition to performing basic and advanced pilot training, it has also flown combat missions in a light-attack role. Unusually, the aircraft never received a NATO reporting name.
The L-39 Albatros was designed during the 1960s as a successor to the Aero L-29 Delfín, an early jet-powered principal training aircraft. Performing its maiden flight on 4 November 1968, it became the first trainer aircraft in the world to be equipped with a turbofan powerplant. Quantity production of the L-39 Albatros proceeded in 1971; one year later, it was formally recognized by the majority of the Warsaw Pact countries as their preferred primary trainer. Accordingly, thousands of L39s would be produced for various military customers in Eastern Europe. Additionally, it was exported to a range of countries across the world both as a trainer and a light-attack aircraft. Since the 1990s, it has also become popular among civilian operators. By the end of the century, in excess of 2,800 L-39s had served with over 30 air forces.
