RIAT Gallery here

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.
