Royal International Air Tattoo 2009

A selection of photos taken by aviation photographers at the recent Royal International Air Tatoo held at Fairford, UK 17-18 July 2009. Each photo links to the photographer's photo gallery, where you can see more photos from the event.

The Dutch F-16 appeared in a special Airshow Coloring - Airwolfhound

The lion depicted on this particular aircraft is taken from the Dutch national Coat of arms, while the orange color scheme refers to the name of the ruling Royal House, 'the Oranges'. This particular plane was painted in this livery for the occasion of the RNLAF's 95th birthday and to attract more candidates for the Air Force. We thank our loyal reader, drs. VHJM van Neerven the editor-in-chief for VNCcc for the information.
