Jaguar in 2016... and other indian stuff.

Post by JulienG »

Hi all,
Three weeks ago, 4 aircrafts, of a type I thought I will never see again since 2006, arrived at Istres for a night stop. That day the Indian Air Force came with 4 Su-30MKI, 2 C-17, 2 Il-78MKI and 4 Jaguar IS on their way to Red Flag Alaska. All in all, that was a very great day with sun and many aircraft in the south-East of France.

Fantastic aircraft in fantastic light. That KC-135 shot is terrific. :love:

I do miss our Jags. :sad:

As lovely as those Jags are, that C-135 shot is top notch!

Awesome shots, the Jag's look great. Always thought Istres was difficult to photograph from outside, obviously not... :clap:

I'm obviously the only one who thinks that first IL-78 photo is waaay better than the KC-135 shot (it's still great though!) Great set... would have loved to have seen that lot.
