Over the weekend of 26th and 27th of May 2018 the Red Thunder Airshow 2018 was staged at Watts Bridge Memorial Airfield, around 1.5 hours drive west of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. The airshow was organised to coincide with the end of the Red Thunder TFC (Tactical Flying Clinic), a separate week-long event where owners of ex-Russian and Chinese aircraft get together to learn formation and tactical flying from experienced pilots.
I made my way to the airfield on the final day of the TFC, as I had heard there would be the chance to get some sunrise images of a couple of the early attendee aircraft. I was also keen to capture the various Nanchang and Yak aircraft that were attending the clinic in action.
