Photos – RAF Upper Heyford, UK – 1991-1993 (Set Twenty Seven – Sky Pageant ’92 Airshow Static Displays (Part Three) – Summer 1992)
-
-
After my son David and I completed the initial round of static display photos, an offer was made to take our picture together – so David and I revisited a few of the aircraft for this series of photos – here we are in front of the MiG-29, “Fulcrum.”
-
-
The ramp was now dry and the public would soon be looking at these jets, but for now this Lakenheath AB, UK, F-15E, “Strike Eagle” or “Mud Hen” behind us is unobstructed for the camera except for David and I.
-
-
David and I stand in front of the German Luftwaffe Panavia, “Tornado;” David was now five and a half years old and quickly growing up into a fine young man.
-
-
This is the RAF version of the “Tornado” – which was flown by Germany, the UK and Italy in a variety of roles and configurations.
-
-
Here we are standing in front of a Belgian Air Force “NATO Tiger” F-16 “Fighting Falcon” or “Viper” from 31 Squadron at Kleine Brogel; you can still see the wet ramp spots from where the moisture continues to drip off the F-16′s tail.
-
-
You can judge a little bit about the actual size and scale of each aircraft from these pictures, as David and I stand in front of this RAF “Jaguar” – which is much smaller than the F-15E for example.
-
-
In this picture David and I and the photographer weren’t lined up on the RAF “Harrier” behind us, so the nose of the aircraft was cut off in this photo.
-
-
I’ve cropped this version of the RAF Harrier “Jump Jet” which helps fill the picture with the aircraft behind us – but I can’t do anything about the missing nose on the jet.
-
-
This Luftwaffe “HFB-320 Hansa Jet” was not in the previous series of Sky Pageant ’92 aircraft photos – and although a little more difficult to research – I finally found a picture of it through Wikipedia.

Since the original photo showed a lot of extra ramp space, I’ve cropped it in this photo to focus the picture on the aircraft.
