I went to the FIA 2024 on the last day of the airshow on Friday. Here are some of my favourite photos. Note that they aren’t really good quality because they were shot on my phone but I have edited a few to give it a better look as some of the original pictures look a bit bland and boring. I hope you like these.
The USAF showing their muscles here 💪 🇺🇸.
An extra long NEO that can fly extra far showing its capabilities and completing its final show with a smooth landing.
Giving the Spitfire the World War 2 photo effect. It still flies well for an 80ish year old plane and put on a better performance than some modern fighters.
An appearance from the Qatari Air Force with their F15. It was by far one of the loudest takeoffs in the air show. It put on an amazing display, even stalling in mid air and flexing its manoeuvres.
The Italian Air Force showing its Eurofighter Typhoon. This may have been the loudest take off out of all the fighter planes there. I love the feeling that you get when your chest and ears vibrate when you are near a fighter plane kicking its engines to full afterburner. Do you?
Finally to finish off the show and one of my favourite photos, the USAF showing its mighty power yet again with the B-52 Stratofortress. It was an amazing low flyby with its smoky engines leaving a trail behind in its wake. It doesn’t look as big or sound as loud as one may imagine, but it’s still magnificent.
Thanks for viewing, which is your favourite?
