Duxford Autumn Show 2007 The final main show of the European airshow season was once again held at Duxford, enjoying some nice autumn weather. Warbirds
made up the bulk of the show, with some classic jets, formation
aerobatics and modern military aircraft thrown in for good measure.
Undoubtedly, the highlight for many was the heritage flight of the
Belgian F-16 with a TF-51 Mustang and a Spitfire, both Duxford
residents. 54
pictures bring you the very best of the last!

Kecskemet International Airshow 2007 One of the undisputed highlights of the 2007 European airshow season was to be found in Hungary, at their main fighter base Kecskemet.

In addition, 5 display teams graced the skies: the Danish Baby Blue, Serbian Stars, Croatian Wings of Storm, Turkish Stars and the Patrouille de France. 3 days at Kecskemet, distilled in 72 pictures.

Royal International Air Tattoo 2007, RAF Fairford RIAT 2007 celebrated the 60th anniversary of the USAF in style with plenty of American hardware at hand, with what was probably the final European appearance of the F-117, the F-15E Solo display and the Thunderbirds. The show had plenty of other stars present, however: Brazil, India, Canada and Oman are just a few examples of countries you don't see at a European show every day.

La Ferté Alais Old aircraft, ranging from a World War I-triplane to aircraft from the Eastern European, Western European and Pacific front in the Second World War and the Vietnam war bring aviation history back to life. Unfortunately, the weather was not very kind to the organization, which lead to the cancellation of parts of the display and making photography quite challenging.
