Malta Air Show 2015
Check out photos below.
The 23rd Annual Malta International Air Show started on Sept. 26, 2015. Featuring over 50 aircraft, representing 12 countries and NATO, on the ground and performing, the air show provided guest with the joy of visiting some larger military aircraft and vicariously experiencing dangerous stunts. Helicopter crews including the Royal Navy Black Cats showed off the capabilities of their aircraft, but the announcer pointed out that without the pilot and crew, helicopters and airplanes were just machines.
The audience was enthralled as the Polish Eagles did synchronized flying stunts and close pass-bys. The team flew the turbo prop Orlick trainer with such precision that the moves were signaled with gasps from the audience that was sure there would be a midair collision. The teamwork was interspersed with the lead trainer as a soloist who performed multiple inversions.
Malta showed off the newest additions to its air force: an AW139 and a B200 Air King. There were demonstrations that showed a helicopter rescue and a precision parachuting team showed off their skills. The number of planes at the Malta Air Show was impressive as was the opportunity to interact with the people who flew them.
The Malta Air Show is the only air show in the world that shares air space with a commercial airport. As such, the show had to go at a more leisurely pace as it had to free up space for commercial flights to land. This also gave the audience an opportunity to see commercial aircraft in action.
