Any more good photos of foreign military aircraft?? what was the highlist of the show this year??
I was in Waddington one year and they had the Isreali F-15I
DaveCthanks.
the F-15E is not really good as expected cos it was taken by k750.
more photos? sure, i brought a mobile phone and a digital camera, 200+ photos in total
haha... this year there dun have any from israel. the F-15E belonged to USAF based in UK.
how did u go there? i drove there
jammed in the base for an hour before i can get away from it
there is another much excited airshow i expect.
