JAS 39 Gripens at Red Flag 08-3

I thought I would register this time under my name instead of Goobie55.

These are some shots of the JAS 39 Gripens at Red Flag last month. It was my first time seeing them and I really enjoyed shooting them. I need to post more here to keep up with NASNI4.

I hope you enjoy.

Thank you for all the kind words. It means alot to have such positive feedback, especially from my mentor Nasni4. :yahoo: :grin:

Very nice shots, shows the aircraft off to great effect and very sharp indeed.
None of the above photos were taken by me, they were on a disc I found in a dustbin............
