I think it was a Spanish display pilot. Where were these guys from? Bit of a show-stopper, this!

They were Italian Air Force pilots. Pretty sure that they only allow their test pilots to display the aircraft like this - which is probably just as well!

I am not a 'birds in flight' connoisseur Irene, but I think this helicopter shot is magnificent in every way. Awarding it a 'like' is not enough IMHO!

Sometimes synchronicity prods us in strange ways
Yesterday at the market I saw this sign and noticed various strange things about it - there seems to have been an additional *S* at the end of the word,
which they tried to delete, but there is also an obvious spelling mistake...
all in all though, it sharply reminded me of the tragic loss of two Albatross aircraft with all unlucky 13 souls on board this day in 2011 - may they all RiP
Crash date : 14 August 2011 - these two identical aircraft were returning 'home' after attending an airshow in Tzaneen : on board everybody connected to
the aviation 'family' in SA - wives and family of display pilots with their children, also Frans Dely : aviation photographer supreme and my friend and mentor.
This tragic accident rocked the aviation fraternity hugely and left big holes in many hearts

Someone definitely needs a spelling lesson. I don’t think the issue was too many “s’s”, but one too many “r’s”.
Synchronicity can be an odd thing though, can’t it? It’s nicer though when it doesn’t remind you of such a terrible occurrence however, and the loss of your mentor.

Exactly
hence I said "obvious spelling mistake"Yes, isn't it... it makes you pull up and assess the machinery of life, the universe and everything

Was in Scarborough on Saturday when this plane flew over. I understand it is a 1957 Bucker 1-131E Jungmann previously used as a training plane in the Spanish Air Force. Don't quite understand the livery but I assume that the owner has a reason .

A couple off days ago I noticed a lot of hot air balloons in the distance. I guess it was some kind of balloon event. Luckily the wind blew them in my direction. Quickly grabbed the camera and shot some closeups.
This was also a nice test for the 2x teleconvertor. I did notice it was struggling sometimes to find focus, even on something big and obvious as a hot air balloon.
I'm not sure the images "work", the sky was grey and dull....
Anyway, all input is welcome.
