I never saw anything leap off the the ground like the Super Hornet though!  
The Grace Spitfire is always lovely:

A couple of MiG-29s in the static park caught my eye:  
It was incredibly gloomy when the Navy were doing their thing: 
Token Red Arrows shot:

Country: | Yes it is quite a machine, I remembered seeing one when I was young, and being impressed with it's take-off, followed immediately by a sharp banked right turn, it was almost fighter-like... Of course there is so much lift from that wing design that the hard part is getting it to land..
Now that there is literally only one left flying (massive restoration project btw) they are a bit more cautious, but a full-power take-off is still hugely impressive to see and hear.
Turn your speakers up and check out the intake resonance at about 15 seconds, it is spooky as hell... YouTube - XH558 Vulcan Bomber first flight
