Royal International Air Tatoo 2005

Airshow

The airshow was dominated by RAF aircraft and not as good a past years. But the weather was great and the were some unique formations and aircraft flying. DHL also took one of it's B757's to the sky and performed some excellent stunt flying with a commercial airliner.

Last year the Red Arrows flew a formation with a F-117, this year a two spitfires teamed up with the Arrows. One of the spitfires is flying with the RAF historical flight and the other is owned by Rolls-Royce.

The Royal Navy performed a major role in the airshow this year, with a farewell formation of Sea harriers and a formation of four Jetstreams. The commercial jamming corporation FRA flew a formation with it's Falcon 20E's, accompanied by four Sea hawks.
