This is the SPOTM (Special Photo Of The Month) competition for November 2015 and the subject is 'Civilian Aerobatic teams', the photo must be of a team consisting of at least 2 aircraft and at least 2 visible in the photo

The subject of your entry should be a civilian operated aerobatic team which uses at least 2 aircraft for it's displays and there must be at least 2 in the photograph. Aircraft which at some time have previously carried a military registration but subsequently transferred to the civil register are acceptable.

Photography Competition Rules :-

1. Only one entry per user, unless posting on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves (children for example). If this is the case, please state so on your entry..

2. The photo may have been taken on any date, it does not have to be taken in the month of the competition

3. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc. are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not, (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example !). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.

4. The competition will remain open until 23.59 (UK time) on the 1st December 2015, to enable anyone with a last minute entry some breathing space.

5. Voting will be conducted by a poll open to all the membership shortly after the closure of the competition.

6. The decision of the moderating team is final.

7. All images must be posted in line with the usual CA posting rules (size etc.), please read them if you're not sure how to post.

8. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.

9. Please also embed the images and not links to images, if you're not sure how to do it then shout up and someone will sort it out. It is permissible to change your entry before the closing date.

10. Do not comment on other member's photos.

11. A brief description of where and when the image was taken would be nice too.

If you have any questions please PM me
Good luck everyone.

Here's the Flying Bulls coming down from a loop at Pardubice, Czech Republic in 2014. It was the final year for them performing as a quartet of Zlin Z-50 aircraft; they converted to a trio of XtremeAir XA42 aircraft for the 2015 season:
