From Lightnings, Phantoms, Tornadoes to the Euro fighter's, grew up near Leuchars Went to lots of Airshows growing up. Took my own family as they were getting older. Have great memories over the years. Beautiful sunset at the end. Thank you for a great video. 👍

Thank you for sharing this, hard to find much from the 80s... have been visiting since 1980 but only got a camcorder in 96... for shame!

She does not seem to appreciate the gravity of the baked bean issue.

She is rude

32 years old, but a surprisingly good and informative video

When airshows were worth going to.

The Buccaneer probably flew all the way back at that height 😉😅

The Golden Age of airshows

Sorry , but she is bloody annoying , trying to be poetic all the time.

no smoking. no drinking and women on board. no thanks.

I started the strip down of the Spitfire that you see in the film, MK356, while on RSS at Abingdon. Unfortunately it was the one that crashed this year (2024) as part of the BBMF.

Mildenhall back in the day was the best airshow in the uk. Not even close....great memories

What an awful woman

Stop it, William. I'll tell the king.

This women know fuck all about the mob. Probably doesn't even know that's one of the nickname for the RN.

I'm ex Royal Navy 85/92 and this women is talking crap. She doesn't know what she is talking about.

This is great mate, Thanks for posting!!

I was there that year. Superb day out! Very hot! Clearly because of climate change.

Great to watch. Our family were based at RAF Coltishall in Norfolk in the sixties when they had Lightnings. Spent a lot of time at the 'Crash gates'. Unfortunately, I didn't have a cinecamera, and my slides didn't turn out all that well either. Thanks for sharing.

Watching this today and I think all of those aircraft are now long gone, with the exception of the reds and bbmf

Strange woman.

Ha! A real Navy hater! Couldn't be much more condescending.

nato organised this airshow to let people see the advanced nato, and USA wanted to show the world they have the best jet ,completely underestimated the aerodynamics of the su 25. i heard a story the f15 or f16 ,not sure now, showed off first its abilitys after that the two su 25 made such incredible maneuvres ,that the US pilot went down on his knees after they flew by and watched on his knees to the end. his carrier was over after that , i think he even died 2 years after that by a "accident" anyone any information on that ? not much footage available on the internet and no such news about it to find, no news at all...of that time

I wish I experienced the turboprops

13:50 - That 767-200 (N644UA) is still in service with United as of today, April 2024. It is now 33 years old and was delivered to United brand new May 1991. 18:54 - That 767-200 (N615UA) retired from the United fleet in 2003 (at age 20) and is still stored in Victorville, California with many components removed. 21:40 - That 737-300 (N392UA) was delivered to United 4 years before this video. It left United and went to ATA Airlines after 15 years of service in 2005. Two years later, it went to Lithuania for a couple years flying charter flights, then to Estonia for more charter flights, then went to SCAT Airlines in Kazakhstan in 2009. One month later, it caught fire while parked at the airport and was destroyed. 22:49 - That 747-200 (G-VGIN) was Virgin Atlantic's second 747 to enter the fleet in 1986. She was 15 years old after already flying for National Airlines and China's CAAC. She served with Virgin for another 15 years before being sold off to Nigeria's Kabo Air. She served with Kabo Air for 6 years, and then was retired and stored in the Mojave Desert in 2007. She has since been scrapped. 23:30 - That 747SP (N147UA) was originally sold to Pan Am in 1978. Then, 8 years later is was acquired by United Airlines in 1986. She served with United until 1986 (15 years) and was then retired and preserved Apr 2001, at the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center for research purposes. Given the time and place of this video, I believe this video is this plane returning to SFO after making the long SYD-AUK-HNL-SFO flight. Search 39°27'33.93"N 74°33'26.89"W on google maps to see it.

Thanks for sharing, brings back happy memories. I was sat in the a-7 static jet when his partner was doing the display. Made my day! ❤

I was there and looking to see if I might spot yself amongst all the bodies. Also thought I clocked one of my old uni flatmates in the crowd.

Very good air show. Well filmed.

1:54:33: RIP Antonov 225. 😪🇺🇦🌻

The good old Brasilia

CG60 USS Normandy. We painted the invasion stripes on our helo two days before we arrived in Portsmouth.

I miss this so much.

A wonderful point in time when you'd get everything in the air up to 4th gen planes. Too many have been decommissioned or grounded because of regs now.

Any chance you could re-film this on a calm day, when no one is trying in vain to start a dead car?

Its interesting to watch this in 2024 and see the changes which have been made its very differnt Navy today and thats good but we just dont have the size we had in 1992

i saw a sebcat jaguar.

Such an amazing week with 74th being based at Fairford during the show. So many phantoms!

Was my first IAT, and boy was it a good one. But I was staying in the nearby Kempsford in a tent, which was torture due to the temperatures that week. The Whale, Pittsburg A7`s, England A-10`s, seeing the Blackbird for the first and last time, and meeting King Hussein are my favorite memories of that week.

When airshows were worth going too. So much different aircraft types back then. Little did the pilots know they would be going to war less than a year later.

Looking so nice!! Thank you for sharing. Nice!!!!😊😊😊😊

Awesome video!

Thanks for the memories. 1994 was right around the time I started working at SFO. Great to see gone but not forgotten planes and airlines. Cheers!

1990. The cold war over, A moment in time just before we became embroiled in the first Iraqi war. It was all downhill from there im afraid.

Great video

Oh wow, I used to fly as an unaccompanied minor on Skywest (and sometimes United Express) turboprops frequently back in the early to mid 90s into and out of SMF! I remember that old junked fighter plane out there at the far end of the airfield. So cool to see this.

14:05 N644UA which is still in service as of December 2023!

Digan la verdad del ataque del 30 de mayo de 1982!!!

I use enjoy flying on those UA Express puddle jumpers.

Great video I will never forget that 9 ship take off everyone thought they would go straight up but they turned left stayed low and came in 90 degrees to the runway climbing vertical at centreline with the later lightnings still rolling for take off underneath them. Happy days.
