The A380 was the first thing everyone saw at the entrance. This a/c is massive. It has to be seen up close to be believed. Entry into the Airbus pavilion and the A380 was strictly by invitation only. Commoners were not allowed.

The C-17 is huge and a real beauty. The USAF were giving people tours on board but the line was too long.

The QR pavilion where 2 days ago they were handing out 1:200 777 and A330 models and 1:100 Pacmin 777 models by the dozens for free at a PR party. Entry was strictly by invitation only or for members of the press:





I love this plane:









Looks like the thrust reversers are deployed:

impressive photography...All aircrafts are beautiful.I also love that aircraft in red

Yes those are the traditional British Red Arrows. They perform at all UK airshows and events.

I was very happy to see the PAF JF-17's on display. Pakistan was probably the only country from Asia to be participating in this show. I didn't see displays from any other country other than from the US and Europe. The 2 a/c are based at Kamra and they did a flying display on the non-public days.

Moin, did you have inside access into C-17 of U.S Air Force? I never saw the inside of C-17 and very curious for it. This air show might help.

No the lines to go inside were endless.
