RIAT 2016 Day 3 – RAF Typhoon display

The RAF Typhoon display was loud and proud in 2016. The lighting wasn’t the best though so apologies for the grey jet against the grey sky. That’s the UK for you I guess 🙂

RIAT 2016 Day 3 – French Air Force Rafale display

The Armée de l’Air (French Air Force) Dassault Rafale was the highlight of RIAT 2016 for me in terms of the display. It was dynamic, full of afterburner, loud and exciting. Good job Armée de l’Air!

This was the flat display due to low cloud, so he couldn’t do the vertical break to land, which I did shoot on his practice display on the Wednesday. See my other vids for that.

F-22 Raptor display and F-22/F-35 formation fly-by – RIAT 2016

It was all a bit stealthy at RIAT 2016 and this was a really unique fly-by from the F-22 and F-35.

I do love the F-22 display, and it’s pretty hard to film at time, especially with the vertical manoeuvres!

Belgian Air Force F-16 display – RIAT 2016 Day 3

After the practice display from the 2nd day of RIAT 2016 here is the full display from the Friday of RIAT 2016. Rather than shooting from the FRIAT Grandstand this was shot from the crowd line and I think is more dramatic. Enjoy!

Airbus A400M display – RIAT 2016 Day 3

Always a stunning display from this deceptively huge aircraft. The bunt at 1:50 always makes me feel for the people on board.

BAE Typhoon display – RIAT 2016 Day 3

A fully loaded BAE systems Eurofighter Typhoon display from RIAT 2016. A pretty awesome display considering the munitions slung underneath the wings!

Ramex Delta practice display (with BIG shock waves!) – RIAT 2016 Day 2

One of the highlights of the show for me, these Armée De L’air pilots really put on a fantastic display in their Mirage 2000Ns

During the fast pas these jets were close to the speed of sound and creating some stunning shock waves. Check out the sound as they reach us – BOOF!

This practice display was shot from the eastern end of the runway on the Thursday 7th July and pretty much wrapped up day 2 for us.
