Fairford RIAT 2005

As always the RIAT was a great airshow, they did it again as usual. The USAF performance was a little poor, we love to see more USAF/USNavy. Also there were not many performers for East Europe but despite that they've put on a great show. There was a lot of RAF aircraft and love those. So we didn't mind.
If you are looking for the static display planes pictures. Not here, sorry we don't like pics from planes on the ground.

A few planes became an award for their performance (see the chapters). It's amazing the RIAT gets every year so many planes together, we think there is no better team to do an Airshow. This is with no doubt one of the best Airshows in the world, keep up this good work RIAT.

The weather was this year sunny a few clouds and not so warm, perfect airshow weather.

We've placed the pictures in 12 chapters, click on the plane to visit that chapter:
