Exotic lot and a friendly lot at that (UAE vs IDF/AF and Pakistan...)
#26 good to see the GIB is ... in the back or did the pilot bring his kid?

An hour well spent, I would say. Well captured especially like #6 ... engineering magic

Nice shots but mixed feelings with this lot. Having returned safely from the ISIS bombing campaign over Syria only to crash and die on the way home. RIP

At your local Rich, they're coming to you now.
Looks like it has cranked up its front bogey in no1, bit like an F-5E but they do that, don't they?

Glad you provided the landscape to go with 'our' machines. Too bad we only have the flatlands over here

Love the ground ops shots. Over the fence?

Despite the complaining going on about lower numbers, units and deployments there still is much to enjoy with you lot...

Key word: diversity! Excellent visit. Thanks for sharing

Thanks Cujo, total nine different numbers on the Saturday. Good drill weekend output.

Since you're not going out again this year, maybe you couldget your camera cleaned cough cough after the wokka brown out.
Great variation as always Rich, we managed to let another year go by without managing to make it to SPTA...

Quality set! Looks like you covered all the angles on the deck beautifully.
Middle East and Med cruises tend to be harsh lighting, but hey, subjects and composition are top notch.

Brilliant set Ben! Would have loved to be over this month however decided to do riat and farnborough

no. 4. for me with the backdrop and loads of sunshine really putting emphasis on the a/c

Back after 20 odd years. Not for the right reason though. Good catch anyway Tspoon.

Numbers 9 & 11 for me, classic jet rock & roll.
Good to see the HAF-guys getting some gas to show up, EU tax money well spent

My god, I'm voting for ... an F-16 too. Time is running out on us, with that stealthy sensor-laden plastic coming up.
Doesn't get my sensor up, if ever. Come to think of it, we bought it too

If this is the norm for a huge post, i'll gladly accept one every day.
Thanks Ivan for a beautiful set.

Heard about a very warm welcome @ Konya.
Good show by TuAF
And black-nosed F-4s... what more does one need

Super lightt, super birds, doesn't 37+22 look like a new delivery?
Can't wait to see the final sonderlackierung, but then it can wait because it will be the final call

Very nice light, are you sure it's your local---- weather-wise?

Very nice set of pictures. Good quality and framing.

But what an Ugly Thing this F-35 (JSF's gone now?) is.

I hope we never buy them, the price tags helps though.
Our government's reserved budget is down to 1,5 squadron of them now, let alone 2019 prices.

Nice shots from your pool.

Imagine the 'colours' on the av-8's in summer.

It's about your time of the year again Rich, odd one out Spanish... and a welcome subject. 'Almost' had my share of Croatian CL's, missed them by a few hours on the day leaving the country after a 2-week family holiday. But hey... you can always come back. Like SPTA: still on the list! Regards, Rob ...

Good set,

Very nice prop movement, helped by overnight rain.
Event to watch out for next time.
