Farnborough 2016 Sunday.

A bit disappointed this year, Red Arrows fly past only and other displays watered down. Still managed to get some shots.

Nice collection.

I might be in the minority but I reckon a flypast is about the right amount of red arrows action... (Now if only the wing-walkers could cut down their run-time).

The lack of fast jets throwing it around was the main disappointment. The F/A 18 showed it was still possible despite the new rules but the F-35 routine was expectedly restrained given the maturity of the platform and the BAE Typhoon was too busy carrying lots of stores (as was the case in 2014, when the RAF Typhoon put in a more energetic display). And the rain did it's best job of stopping the M345 and Grippen displays during the week.

Good set @jomike

Amen brother...

Thanks Paul and Graham.

Agreed about the wing walkers(and most of the other prop aerobatics teams), but the reds were always a highlight for me.
