Sharing some of my videos from RIAT 2017 (RAF Fairford) for jet lovers.

Major Dan "ROCK" Dickinson throttles up, hits afterburners, and propels the F-22 Raptor into a performance, high G, take off at RIAT 2017. Watch his stunning aerobatic routine that includes close formation with a P-51 Mustang.

Great video, thanks Dominic!

Such a pity about the dreadful commentary over the tannoy..."..the freedom pass.." etc. It's the worst thing about airshows in the US, and now here. (Why do they feel the need to play dreadful music/singing when the audience wants to hear the aircraft :?: ).

I'm with you Bob. I'd be happy just with engine noise.

The B-2 Spirit flew in from Whiteman Air Force Base to make two passes down the runway at RAF Fairford. An awesome sight as it was escorted by two F-15s.

Italian Air Force demonstrate the 'swing wing' Tornado with in-flight variable wing geometry at RIAT 2017. Flown very...flamboyantly.
