I am keeping these to 100 pixel height thumbs so the JPEGs range between 5 and 15k (trying to safe Dani some disk space). You give me an educated guess what plane it is. I will (or you should) acknowledge the first correct guess.

See the other photos in the series for what it can do :)Yep, that's a Mustang.

i actually live within walking distance of the farnborough airfield

Yes, it is a German Luftwaffe MIG-29, so the recognition goes to jwenting!
Nice pictures of the air show! However, the picture you listed as a MIG-29 is actually a MIG-35.
Here is our mystery airplane #2. Can you guess it?

mig again?
vegaseat 1,735 DaniWeb's Hypocrite Team Colleague
No MIG, but I give you a hint. It is a plane the Swiss AF uses.

Anyone is welcome to put a plane up, so go ahead with plane #4. Just number them to keep order.

Is it the Mirage 2000?
Very close! Just let me tell you that the Swiss slightly modified this type for low altitude flying in the alps.

You are getting rather good at this JB. It is a Mirage3.
Now I have to add plane #4 since no one else did. Here it is:

chinese J10??? can you post bigger pictures please
can i do #5?
clue: saw service in the falklands and as a nuclear bomber
vegaseat 1,735 DaniWeb's Hypocrite Team Colleague
Larger Images? I will try, but I don't want to get much past 30k.
In your case JB, you got to take the plane's name out of your filename! Otherwise it's too easy to say plane #5 is a Vulcan!
vegaseat 1,735 DaniWeb's Hypocrite Team Colleague
Okay, here is plane #4 again, a little larger and sharper this time.

jbennet is showing a Vulcan.
vegaseat 1,735 DaniWeb's Hypocrite Team Colleague
Jwenting is correct, plane #4 is the Sukhoi Su-47 Berkut (Golden Eagle).
Why would the Russians show such an old design as the MIG29 in the 2006 air show? But again Jwenting is right the MIG35 is an updated MIG29 and didn't come out until 2007.
Plane #6 is an old timer.
