Dartmouth Royal Regatta Air Display.

Evening all. fond memories of drinking beer and plane watching a few years ago.

 

Unrestricted climb in a F-35, I witnessed an early Typhoon performing this - and what a heck of a noise it made.

 

Kingswear on the left, Dartmouth on the right.

Ahh yes!.. this used to be one of the great air displays, before sad events reduced the flying. Seeing, and hearing the Typhoon is something I'll never forget... the power of it was quite terrifying. Great shots and the Dart is superbly rendered here.

One of my favourite parts of the world but not been here since 1980!:(

I enjoyed a trip from Paignton to Kingswear on a beautiful GWR 0-8-0 and then the ferry across to Dartmouth.

A murky September Sunday etched into the memory as long my old memory holds out.:lol:

After all of that, some beautiful dynamic images here.:)

Whitehaven, it's a nice plane and nice scenery, but what caught my attention is the pilot. Give  fighter pilot a chance to show off and he or she will take it every time. Big grin, throttle forward, yoke yanked back, and LOOK AT ME. It's the ego of a child and it is absolutely endearing.
