The Italian Airforce Acrobatic Team had scheduled their air show over 2-days flying over Kuwait Bay and around Kuwait Towers. The rain had passed, but low cloud persisted through the morning and we were unsure whether the air show would take place. Luckily a brisk wind picked up and cleared the cloud to open the skies for the show to take place.

Whilst waiting, I photographed a few passing Gulls - Common Black-headed

and one of the 1st winter White-headed Gulls - probably Caspian or Heuglin's

an Emirates A380 passed below the moon while we waited longer - the show was delayed an hour

Finally the Coastguard came into position and the spectators waiting on the shoreline waited in anticipation

First up was the Euro fighter Typhoon an awesome jet and pretty quiet compared to some of the other military jets I have seen
