AF Thunderbird European Tour-many pics

[89 az ssp]

We just finished our European tour. We went to 9 countries in 40+ days. This is what I shot.



First stop was Turkey. It was probably the largest show on the trip since they were celebrating their 100th year.

Turkey's 1st F-16 demo jet. It was a hell of a display. The paint job was bad ass too!

The Red Arrows getting ready for take off.

Next stop Italy. We flew out of Aviano but the show was on the coast so I don't have any of the show.

Had a day off so I went to Venezia for possibly my last time.

The gondola repair shop.

These are from Denmark and Finland.

Finland around midnight, you can tell how far north we were since it really didn't get dark.

End Of Runway inspection.

The weather wasn't too good.

Installing a new flag panel since we have never performed in Finland. Each flag represents every country that we have performed in.

I didn't get much from Bulgaria since I shot so much there last year. I did get this old man playing the guitar.
