Su-27 Flanker at RIAT 2018 - By Steve J Huggett

[stevejhuggett]

Did a better job photographing this machine this time, flown by the Ukrainian Air Force.

This plane is famous for its cobra maneuver of pulling the nose up and over 90°s before returning to level flight.

What I use

Nikon D7200.
Sigma 18-300m
Software Adobe Lightroom.
Taken by Steve J Huggett.

Location

RIAT 2018 Fairford England UK

Lovely capture, have never seen one of these. Are they practicing over your skies, or was this an airshow?

[stevejhuggett]

Thanks Joan. It was taken at RIAT 2018 airshow. As its a Russian designed plane, I would be worried if I saw too many of these in the sky lol

[joanstewart]

Never heard the term RIAT so looked it up, Royal International Air Tattoo, yes it would be something to ponder seeing them overhead uninvited.

Have visited some great airshows over the years, most enjoyable day out. Durban hosts the Durban Military Tattoo, now called KZN Military Tattoo, the Durban Airshow was a separate event, so never linked the Military to the Airshow concept.

We are pretty lucky here in the UK, RIAT is the best for Jets's as they will do just under the speed of sound on a fast pass. Duxford over of the East coast for the old warbirds and Yeovilton down South West for Helicopters. Plus all the smaller shows around the country :)
