Norwegian F-16s Arrive at North Weald (Sunday Shots Added)
Terrific afternoon at North Weald today - three Spitfires, two Vampires, two F-16s and a C-130. Plenty more to edit, but they'll be posted next week most likely.
Really nice to meet Richard Grace this afternoon too. Thanks for the chat.
Feedback on these appreciated again if you don't mind - still adjusting to this new monitor.

Great set, love the shot of ML407 tucking up the gear. Bit disappointed not to see a shot of the 100 year special F-16 in all its glory though.
Re: Norwegian F-16s Arrive at North Weald
Shots look great on my iMac screen and another vote for Richard in ML407
Re: Norwegian F-16s Arrive at North Weald
They look pretty good from here..
Don't say something crass, to hide your envy. Just give credit, when its applicable...

Thanks chaps.
@ Gary - I was indeed. I missed the Vampires (too busy chatting), and positioned myself for the F-16s as they came off the cross runway, so thought I'd try that spot later in the day, especially after Richard Grace told me he was planning a departure similar to his arrival.
@ Dean - Yeah, I should be. I'm assuming you will too? You doing Duxford tomorrow?
Here's a final selection from today:

As A40-BP says, it's "Jumpin' Jacques" from the Hangar 11 Collection. Blue Spitfire belongs to them too.

Some very good shots there.
I was planning on going on Sunday, but unfortunately the friend that I was going with was taken ill.

A brilliant set of images from start to finish Dan. Like the close up of the pilots. Top work.
