C17 Globemaster III

Here it is again - Britain's Greatest Air Show - Farnborough! Every two years the premier aerospace manufacturers of the world gather to display the very latest in their technological achievements - the most exciting being tested in the air before upwards of 100,000 spectators.

This video concentrates only on the flying everyone wants to see. No interviews and no music intrude on the action.

Aviation Action cameras attended 19 events in 1994 and we drew on the very best material in compiling this all action video. We pay tribute to the retiring Buccaneer but welcome theEurofighter with footage of both prototypes including air-to-air. The giant C-17 Globemaster III, the awesome Sukhoi Flanker variants the Su-30 and Su-35, and the Russian M55 (U-2 spyplane equivalent) all make their debuts.

The annual Mildenhall Air fete is the UK showcase for modern American might and muscle and this bumper length video features the most dramatic action from the 1988 to 1995 shows.

American types dominate particularly the 'heavies' for which "The Hall" is so famous but rare and spectacular contributors from a dozen other air forces are included too.

USAF Gold, Part 1, featured the US Air Forces Anniversary display at Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada. The biggest annual USAF show in Europe is "Air Fete" at Mildenhall in England. This video draws together the highlights of the '96, '97 and '98 events.

A full line-up of US types includes the B2A Spirit 'stealth bomber' and the UK flying debut of the F117A Nighthawk. Also featured are B1, B52, C5, C17, C130, F15, F16, A10, MH53 and more including The Thunderbirds display team.
