It rained and then cleared up, and although it was a little busy, it was a good experience.

Flares, flares, flares! The Belgian Falcon caught launching flares at the top of a loop. The bird flew an impressive demo flight above the beach of the Côte d'Azur town of Sainte-Maxime at the end of the Free Flight World Masters airshow and competition. Being over water, use of flares was approved, as at most summer airshows, concerns over potential sources of brush fires restrict flare usage.

From the beginning, it was nicknamed 'Aardvark', after a solitary night hunter with excellent senses that roots in the dirt. But General Dynamics' fighter-bomber was really a high-flying technical pioneer. The F-111 was a tactical bomber, flying hundreds of miles close to the earth and under the radar, hitting the target, and then zooming up high and dashing home at supersonic speed -- all without refueling. Power came from newly invented after-burning turbofan engines. But these extremes of altitude and speed called for a new type of wing that could change position: straight out for takeoff and landing lift, and swept back (as seen in the photograph above) for speed. In othe workds, the F-111 flies the way that birds do.
Advanced radar supported all-weather flying at night, hugging the earth at low altitude, even in rolling terrain, completely controlled by radar while the pilots navigated. Sophisticated avionics also zeroed in on military targets, making smart bombs used in the 1st Gulf War devastatingly effective.
Originally offered in different versions to both the Air Force and the Navy, the Royal Australian Air Force combined the best features of both models in the F-111C (included in the photograph above). Surviving a rocky testing phase and combat debut, the F-111 earned one of the safest operating records of any military aircraft. In Vietnam, it had twice the range of the F-4s and carried more than double the weapons load. In the longest strike mission in history, a force of F-111s flew from England to Libya and back in 1986, detouring all the way around Spain and France.
