Impressive line up. Nice shots. Did you manage to to catch the MC-27J in the static? (especially it's 30mm gun??)

21.....you ever wonder how those Arabs kill the bugs on their crops?

Anyone else also noticed that the "gimbal-hung sensor" on that cropduster hangs rather close to the tarmac on that sensor pod

Okay, the glass panel of that camera may have to stay clear of the propwash, but the camera itself is now rather low-slung.
A drawback when operating the Air Tractor AT-802 Block 1/2 from rough uneven airstrips I suppose...

Nice set of pics of an impressive line up. I am looking forward to your coverage of the display. Cheers, Dick

Nice shots indeed. Those are known planes but with different roundles. Especially the Hawk has my attention.
And the Americans made an exeption for this show? Or wil they visit others as well in 2014?

It's not only the civil boys who have money to spend. Don't forget that there are still many military contracts to be earned for US companies in that region. And that's not the case here in Europe (or somewhere else for that matter).

Like your nr28 and 31!

Nice! How many mm's did you need Peter? Were you in a press area or were the pictures taken from the showground?

Awesome! What was the Omega DC10 tanker doing there?
