Singapore Airshow 2018
The crowds tend to come to airshows for the headlining jet teams - Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, Red Arrows, etc. For me, the big draw to the Harrisburg show was the recently repainted Viper Demo Team F-16, sporting the 50th anniversary prototype scheme.
The General Dynamics YF-16 first flew in 1974, with the fighter jet entering service in 1978. It's been around as long as I have, and as a kid I played with many a toy F-16 sporting that bicentennial-inspired paint scheme. To see one flying was a fun nugget of nostalgia, and the aerobatics put on by Capt. Taylor “FEMA” Hiester, the F-16 Viper Demonstration Team commander and pilot, was outstanding.
Turns out headaches can cause you upside down. My wife had a neck pain and causing a severe headache to her. So we didn't head up to San Francisco but missed the Blue Angels.
This was what the weather looked like once I'd found a space to stand for the show. It didn't lift the spirits much!
Much better viewed large.
Thank you for your favourites. :O)

The RAF Lakenheath aircraft will be on public display, along with many other military aircraft from around the U.K., to provide an opportunity for U.S. and military allies to showcase their capabilities.
