The "wave" goodbye never gets old!!

[@UKAviationMovies]

I agree. It always makes me a bit sad after RIAT :(

[@kivancsil]

That first AV-8B. What an ugly beautiful beast.😍

[@UKAviationMovies]

The two seaters are a weird looking jet. Definitely look better as a single, not by much mind 😂

[@CaseyHowdenPhoto]

The French launching those Rafales like Supercubs. Fantastic video.

[@UKAviationMovies]

Many thanks!

[@DafyddPhillips]

Great video Ben! Too many favourites amongst all them ✈️✈️✈️👌

[@UKAviationMovies]

Thanks a lot pal. A lot of great participants this year. I really do love the Have Glass scheme on the Danish F-16 💪

[@triifid1327]

That f16 knife edge was clean👏🏻 funnily enough at the end of the sunday show when I was over at the display teams tent, a photographer was telling the pilot that last year on departure he was very high. At first the pilot looked a little confused and almost insulted by what the guy was say, but then with better explanation through the accents and it was understood that the guy wanted him to stay low the full length before pulling up. I must say he done him one better that was soo clean and snappy👏🏻🤣🤣

[@UKAviationMovies]

Thanks for sharing that. He certainly made up for it this year! That knife edge was properly 90 degrees and perfectly executed 😎He definitely wasn't too high either 💪😎

[@robertblay9179]

@6:28 The "Wave" Goodbye from the French Rafales is 😍. I'd love to see you very soon 🙂

[@UKAviationMovies]

Yeah it was epic!

[@vinssenclark5018]

Just incredibly awesome videos! Really superbly done. If I had just one wish I'd spend it on someone somewhere having saved an F-111 of any model and to see it fly or even just taxi once again. Worked on them as an avionics technician for 27 years and miss them terribly. I was at Upper Heyford in the 70s, Lakenheath in the 80s and all the other bases she was at at some point in my career. Life goes on...

[@UKAviationMovies]

Ahhh, you're a man after my own heart Vinssen. I grew up about 45 mins drive from UH, spent many many days there with my brother as a kid watching the E models. We started venturing further in the late 80s early 90s to LN to catch the 111Fs there. I grew up with the sound of TF30s ringing in my ears. F-35s are now based at LN but the F-111 had so much more character and looks WAY better! Miss that jet! Thanks for dropping by 👍

I didn't know Su 22 was still flyin' in Poland !!! A piece of History ! She takes a long time before rotation compared to French Rafale. Nice Video....

[@UKAviationMovies]

A flying antique. It's amazing how long the Su-22 takes to lift isn't it!

[@UKAviationMovies]

@@dtrain1634 Too right. Although I’m pretty sure Poland won’t worry too much about that, seeing as they’ve been operating F-16s for years and will be getting F-35s soon too. Poland have been very vocal in their scorn for Putin’s regime, I wouldn’t be surprised if the 22s don’t go to Ukraine in the no too distant future

Nice video and nice sounds! 👍 Any clue why the F-4 had to turn around?

[@UKAviationMovies]

Thanks a lot. They did have radio transmission issues earlier whilst talking to the tower at Fairford, so I wonder if that might have been a cause? Maybe French air traffic control couldn't hear them properly?

F4 seemed to have a fuel leak in the left hand wing

[@UKAviationMovies]

@@Aviren_BR They always do this bud. I was on base at Andravida last year and they all do it on takeoff. I believe the tanks seal after they take off. Might be wrong on that though

Here's a question, Do these fighters get escorts from the country's they fly over flying back to their home countries ?

[@UKAviationMovies]

Not normally. When the Russians came over a few years ago they had RAF escort jets, I think just to help the navigate our airspace

[@MrBacilon]

Was that a Dodge Charger hauling ass chasing the U2 ? The best part.

[@UKAviationMovies]

Sure was. They use them as chase cars to talk the jet down 😎

[@RockyAllenLane]

Looks like some of the pilots didn't get the memo about the custom of waving goodbye at this event or were just plan ignorant.

[@UKAviationMovies]

I know right! I heard someone say that in previous years the tower has told them not to showboat on their way out. Not sure how true that is?

[@RockyAllenLane]

How bloody ridiculuois!. Time to get those passive-aggressive control tower people another job.

[@nidr25]

@@UKAviationMovies it's true, it's riat that has become to tight on they're regulations. No flares, no pirotechnics, no wave goodbye. The last Belgian demo pilot did it anyway and after coming home an hour later the base allready got a mad phonecall from riat. A few years ago the french demo pilot did also, the year after not a single french aircraft at the show... And someone needs to explain those pilots that the FIRST tribune is the one to wave, not the second one...
