Farnborough International Air show 1998

 

The Farnborough International Air show 1998 as usual hosted a large mix of Aircraft draw from privately owned Aircraft, to Airliners and current military types.

One particular Aircraft which is always welcome at any venue is the classic lines of the Concorde, going to the other end of the spectrum was the appearance of a 3-ship formation of Doves.

Some of the fighters represented here at Farnborough from the RAF were the Harrier, Typhoon, Tornado and Jaguar, and from other Air Forces from around the World were the F18 Hornet, Saab Gripen and the Sukhoi Su-27.
