I think this is one of my favourite photos of 2019. A WW2 era P-51 Mustang and her modern day successor the F-35A Lightning II in a Heritage Flight formation during San Francisco Fleet Week. The Mustang, Wee Willy II first flew in 1944 and in addition to taking part in the Heritage Flights, also races at Reno, not bad for a 75 year old! California Sony DSC HX400V

Re-load Departing RIAT 2011 held at RAF Fairford this Sikorsky S-76C++ transported the Duke of Kent to the event. Unfortunately, I didn't get offered a lift home. My Land Rover's better anyway.

Airbus named the A400M "The Grizzly" The RAF adopted the rather less interesting name "Atlas" This is a testbed for the type but it will become the last of those to be delivered to the RAF RIAT 2018 RAF Fairford

This Airbus A380 was displaying at Farnborough in 2010. It's huge, it's very quiet and, for her size, agile. Looking a bit grubby here, she has since had the new house livery applied. Currently the largest commercial airliner in the world !http://picasion.com/gl/64/1aeN.gif!
