Summer

My Summer needs explanation.  Air Shows are part of the summer scene in the UK and yesterday one was held at Fairford where the Royal Air Force Acrobatic Team accompanied the first BA A380 into the Show. So this is for the Brits in our Project!  They played Land of Hope and Glory while 110,000 people had a tear in their eye!!  Oh and by the way the planes were moving pretty fast!!

  10. Great shot! We usually have air shows here in the summer too, but not this year :-( Too many budget problems with the federal government so they were put on hold for now.
