I'm still going through my 2009 photos queue... almost halfway done :) Some pictures from Airpower 09 - definitely best show this year, and, dare I say, probably overall the best big airshow in Europe :) (at least photographically).

Excellent photos and the quality of participants is very high, however I must correct you - it is probably the second best big airshow in Europe. The Jewel in the Crown is at a certain place in Gloucestershire :D

Having done both twice (well, actually, for RIAT it's more like "two and a half" for 2008 :D ) I'll stick to my view ;)

Actually, most of them did it :) (but of course, I've chosen the most extreme one to show :D )

Yup, fully agree. While I'm not a big fan of these "silver shiny" color schemes, sometimes it just feels right - even the Red Bull logo is rather discreet :) I have couple more, but not a lot - I got it only on one day :(
