This year’s Farnborough International Airshow pictures were shot on film with a Nikon FM2 and a Nikon FE2. The lens was a Nikon AF-S 300mm f\/4. Both colour film and black-and-white film were used, although only the colour pictures are shown here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First, there were the fast and loud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The F-15QA showed its maneuverability during the Farnborough International Airshow 2024.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"F-16<\/a>
The Royal Danish Air Force flew one of their F-16 at FIA 2024. It was probably the loudest of all the jet fighters.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Then came the fat and slow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The demonstrations of the Airbus jetliners always impress me during the airshow. Their quick take-off, steep climb, and tight slow turn contradict my intuition about the maneuverability of such massive aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first two pictures below make it seem like I am at the same height as the A321, but they are optical illusions created by the acute banking angle of the plane in its sharp turn above me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Airbus<\/a>
The Airbus A321 flying demo was impressive.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Finally, the cutesies closed the show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
