F117 Nighthawk

Military Airshow '92 is a compilation of the very best airshow action featuring a whole range of fighters, bombers, helicopters and transport displayed in the UK in 1992 introduced by David Oliver, editor of Airforces Monthly.

The oldest and newest are featured, so whilst saying goodbye to types like the Phantom, Buccaneer and F-111 we thrill to the sight of Rafale, Gripen, F--17 Stealth and new derivatives like the Harrier GR.7 and F-15E Strike Eagle.

1992 saw the 50th Anniversary of the UK arrival of the US 8th Air Force and the show featured a strong warbird presence. The Douglas A26 Invader is a rare sight at UK airshows. The Vulcan and RAF Phantom were here in their last ever display at Mildenhall. American air power excelled with Starlifter, Galaxy, F15E and the F14 Tomcat. But the star of the show (on static display) was the F117A "Stealth Fighter". Our cameras were there to record its arrival.

This 3 hour video is cut more roughly than usual. It is intended for enthusiasts who require extended viewing and sound uninterrupted by interviews and dubbed commentary. Several US military types, fresh from their success in the Gulf War, featured in the static display including the F117A 'Stealth' fighter making its European debut.

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.

RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire hosts the RAF’s premier airshow and this 1 hour video draws on the very best action from 7 events with cockpit cameras in the Lancaster, Tornado and Pitts.

WWII types and early jets contrast with an astonishing line-up of military metal.
The USAF Thunder birds and their F16’s are just one of 6 teams featured.
