Newcastle's Festival of Flight attracts thousands
- Published
Thousands turned out to watch the Festival of Flight airshow in County Down on Saturday afternoon - this Army Gazelle helicopter was one of the aircraft on show.
The public got a close-up look at the choppers parked on Newcastle's seafront.
Rather you than me - the wing-walkers are always a hit with the crowds. These daredevils were carried by vintage Boeing Stearman biplanes.
Seventy-five years after D-Day, the World War Two-era Dakota transport plane was a highlight for aircraft enthusiasts.
The Irish Air Corps CASA aircraft, which is usually patrolling Ireland's seas, was one of the larger planes on display.
Newcastle is where the 'Mountains of Mournes sweep down to the sea' and the scenery provided a great backdrop.
The Raven aerobatic display team also took to the sunny skies.
But there's no doubt, the RAF's Red Arrows were the highlight of the day.
The Red Arrows are considered one of the world's premier aerobatic display teams.
The Red Arrows use the Hawk T1 jet, originally designed to be an advanced trainer.
See you next year - the Red Arrows head for home at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire.
