Location: RAF Waddington International Air Show, England

Date: 27 and 28 June, 2004

For the first time in some years, I managed to make the Waddington air show - the RAF's largest annual event. A pair of Turkish Phantoms graced the static display along with a Latvian Air Force LET 410 transport. The display marked the first static Typhoon display (as well as one in the air). In the air, a rare appearance from a New Zealand Orion was matched by my first sighting of the awesome RAF Chinook display for some years.
