Its Southport airshow today, which means I'm in for some good piccies (I live in St.Annes and my flat has a panaromic view of Blackpool airports runway)... Here's a couple of pics I got from my lounge window. (You'll see how close I am lol)
This one is from the end of my road
Taxing down the runway
How Cool?
Not sure what these are but they were ace.

Wow, excellent pics! Shame it's a bit overcast today.
You're lucky to live so close but what's the noise like when those 737's and A320's full of holidaymakers take off?

I forgot to mention...I'm not a plane spotter lol. Its only when the red arrows are in, I like to take pics.

@cycovision, its not that bad actually. Not as loud as you would think...the ones at 6.30am don't wake me up lol.

Only pulling your leg Proc...
Excellent pictures though... especially the one with the coloured smoke....
Were they taken with a digital camera? Or your phone?

You are right Dicky... what was the pilot upto in the second video???
WOW
Posted by Cycovision
He was lucky to get away with a bollocking from ATC! That could have ended with a very expensive pile of scrap and a pilot with a slightly shorter spine and soiled underpants, or worse

Well not too sure if it was the euro fighter or not, but somethin has just taken off and its f*****g LOUD!!! It set of someones car alarm. Unfortunately it took of too quick to get a photo
Ok yes its the eurofighter, its just passed window at warp speed lol
