1994 RIAT Fairford Air Show
The Royal International Air Tattoo is a the largest annually held air show of the world. Every year special topics adorned the show. This year '40 years Hercules' was a main theme; C130's from all over the world participated, inclusive the very first production C130 ever of 1953: AC130A 53-31-29.
The highlight of 1994 was a Russian Bear-F, the first and only time this Russian bomber touched British soil. And (most likely) the only time I would ever see this type. Furthermore many other interesting types attended the show – far too much to sum up. I let my photographs speak for themselves!
