Photos from this year's Royal International Air Tattoo in the UK this weekend:

RIAT Gallery here (http://www.lumosonline.com/ff06)

The Mig-29 stole the show, although the Swiss F-18 and US Marines V-22 Osprey were both good to watch.

Where's the pic of the SU-27 crash?  I think it's part of their normal airshow routine so I figured someone ought to have gotten a few pics...

Just kidding... Nice pics.  Interesting to see the swiss F-5s are flying with their flaps trimmed down just a hair and possibly their ailerons kicked up a tad too.

Were you thinking of the Annual Russian/Sukhoi Ejection Seat test?
