Have not seen a Mig in my neck of the woods in a long long time. Great shots. Over all howd you rank RIAT as far as UK Airshows?

Nice pictures there Chris, but it does show that for those types of shots you can't beat length!
I've been there with my 55-300mm and still found it lacking for some shots, although you do need shorter lengths for some (display teams and the like).

@mscott, with my (limited) experience of some UK airshows, RIAT has to be the biggest in all respects - size, number of aircraft (both on the ground and flying), display time and oh yes, the hordes of people Get to the area much after 07:00 in the morning and see how the queues are already forming
I do find some of the smaller displays, such as Kemble and RNAS Yeovilton to be better in some ways - more intimate, easier to get around, find a reasonable spot to take pictures and the like, but at the end of the day, RIAT has got it all and I will be going again.
