Thousands of people flocked to the Old Buckenham Airshow on its opening day, which featured a UK first.
The two-day event takes place this weekend at Old Buckenham Airfield, near Attleborough, with a stellar line-up in the sky and on the ground.
Looking up, this includes the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress Sally B, the RAF Typhoon and the RAF Falcons parachute display team on both days.

Matt Wilkins, event organiser, said: "The feedback has been absolutely brilliant and visitors are grateful to have a major airshow in Norfolk.
"We don't have huge numbers of staff and most of the year it is just me, so it is great to have comments saying how well run the event is.
"We have not increased the capacity as we want to keep the same great atmosphere."
