Yes did put a huge grin on my face [:D] , i was watching and hoping for the red, white and blue!!! That must have been a fantastic picture for Virgin PR to use in HQ. Love the fact they used the advert music.

Now next is an a380 with a virgin tail with the red arrows [:I]

Cheers for posting [y]

I used this forum for a bit of research for my recent trip to Vegas - and it was very useful for working out upgrades :) I have therefore signed up to repay in a small way.

The 747 Red arrows flyby was a totally awesome sight that I will remember forever - whoever had the idea can consider it a stroke of advertising genius!

So here is a couple of pics from the day for anyone who is interested


The first picture is intentionally large in case anyone wants a wallpaper image - sorry if it exceeds forum guidelines


Enjoy :D

Great pictures. I don't suppose you have the first one any bigger?
#719608 by Mark216T

I have it considerably bigger :) I also decided that discretion was a better idea for a first post! Once I have a bit more time tomorrow i will have another go at processing it a bit better

These were 'quick n dirty' pics for the web and not my best quality output!

1680 x 1050 needed for my wallpaper.

Wonder if G-VFAB's pilot got to be an honourary member of the Red Arrows for that? Great pics Mark, much enjoyed.

Entirely possible that G-VFAB's crew for the formation flight were either or both a) ex-RAF (or other miliary aviators) and b) (obviously) skilled in display flying.

Nice...

Drop me an Email to Mark216t At Gmail dot com and I will send you a larger version


Glad everyone else is enjoying the pics - I have about another 70 in total so I will sort out few more for you guys

Can I post pics in the gallery with a basic membership ? - Whilst I'm certainly not tight and the 2.99 wont break the bank this was more of a flying visit to say thanks and share the pics.

It also doesn't mean I wont be hanging around here - as Allison has another 170k air miles to dispose of and Vegas is already calling again!

Mark

If you email the pics to Nick at v-flyer dot com or even moderator at v-flyer dot com, we can post them on the site, but there is a 120K limit on pics we can upload.

Many thanks for sharing.

Your video is brilliant. I was lucky enough to be the crew member working on the flight, it was amazing and looked really good seeing it all from the sky. Sadly, i don't have any footage from the ground. I know the geoff the captain and richard and jim the first officers are keen to get some footage, would it be possible for you to send me the footage if i forward you my e mail so i can share it with#65279; them.
