MiG-29 Fulcrum

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.

Farnborough is perhaps the worlds's most famous aviation trade event and attracts the biggest, best and newest, plus some significant historic types on the public days. 1992 as no exception. Fabulous weather and a tremendous variety of types, particularly from the former Soviet Union, made this show a truly vintage event.

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.

On June 6th 1994 our cameras were among the very few privileged to attend the International Ceremony at Omaha Beach attended by the head of state of 13 countries. This sets the scene for several ‘all action’ commemorations at airshows and other events.

The '95 Biggin Hill International Air Fair witnessed one of the biggest gatherings of Russian aircraft ever to appear in the West. The astonishing Russian Test Pilots team and their state-of-the-art Sukhoi Su27 "Flankers" contrasted with the nine Yak 52's of the Red Stars Racing team. The Su29 duo tore up to aerobatic rule book whilst the Mig 29 'Fulcrum' simply tore the sky apart.

Aviation Action cameras attended over 20 events in 1995 and this video draws on the very best action to present a huge variety of hardware from military inventories - East and West.

The most potent front line jets from the worlds premier airforces share the stage with 8 formation teams, airlifters, trainers, helicopters, and all manner of specialist role aircraft. Rare and spectacular displays include only the second ever UK appearance of the F117A 'Stealth' fighter.

The midweek airshow in late July has been a regular event and attracts not only a big crowd of holiday makers but also some very rare aircraft. 1991 was no exception with displays by the Italian National Aerobatic team. 'Frecce Tricolori', a Royal New Zealand Air Force Hercules, a Canberra and a very rare Andreasson BA4B. The Irish Air Corps also sent a contingent but the stars were undoubtedly the Czechoslovakian Air Force with the MiG29, MiG23 and L39 Albatross.

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.
