Very nice pics Paul, a good few aircraft I'd have loved to see. The livery on the first Mirage looks ace and the A330MMRT looks good aswell. I remember back at RIAT 2003 (or 2005), Airbus sent over a factory fresh A330 to immitate a refueling aircraft, even though it was an unpainted passenger aircraft due for delivery to EVA Air. It was cool seeing the A330 flying past low level with a Tornado on each wing.

Did the IL-76 land to have the tyre replaced?

Nope headed home and landed safe, I think he burst 3 tyres retracting the gear to early

The Ukrainian`s have an interesting outlook on flight safety!  ;D
Hope they didn`t spill their vodka ;)

Maybe the pilot thought he could do a burn out like they do in drag racing  :LOL
