Nice show this year as well, the highlight being the Phantom of the USAF heritage flight. I'm certainly not complaining. Here's a selection for you who weren't there. (Most of you, I guess :)

Nice.

What are the black and white aircraft in the 3rd/4th shots I see a Mig 15, are the others CASA C101s? Civil operators?

Hey,

They're Czech L-39 Albatros, along with a Mig-17. It's a civillian team called "Heavy Metal", and with the Mig17 as an outrider they did a quite nice show.

Great shots, just brilliant.

Makes me sad though at what we seem to be missing these days - it was always a highlight of any airshow to see (and hear) a Phantom tearing down the flightline at 100ft and 600kts. What a sight and sound!
