On the 9th April the Tornado at Carlisle was taken out from the Hanger it is stored in and I got this when I was down there for Tac Blaze.

Some of the locals and visitors I got while up at Lossie to get the Italians. 1 https://i.postimg.cc/P5WHgY9j/Los01.jpg 2 https://i.postimg.cc/wj8H40W2/Los02a.jpg 3 https://i.postimg.cc/wTsgkSk3/Los02b.jpg 4 https://i.postimg.cc/zfqN83YR/Los03.jpg 5 https://i.postimg.cc/5tpV01fK/Los04.jpg 6 https://...

I'm a bit confused, this was supposedly "Mac ,N, Cheese" first flight in a Typhoon. Did they not start on T birds or is all the pre flying training done in the sim now?

Do you think 13 Sqn were over compensating for having no manned aircraft by having the biggest Sqn patch in the world?

"The ones that did come out of that episode a little negatively were the Red Arrows with an aircraft not lowering their undercarriage."

I got the impression that was engineered for the TV.

The dip at the end of the runway at Lossiemouth was particularly useful when the Jags were there, as they were so under powered they could only get airborne by runway falling away from underneath them. :grinning: That's rather odd given they had no issues at Coltishall's runway 22/04 at 7,500 feet ...

Some shots of the home team at Leeming whilst down to catch the Swiss Hornets arriving. 1 https://i.postimg.cc/ZnHqYDXJ/ZB131.jpg 2 https://i.postimg.cc/FsPK28jZ/ZB132.jpg 3 https://i.postimg.cc/ryNs9Ks7/ZB134.jpg 4 https://i.postimg.cc/ncVzSpQr/ZB136.jpg 5 https://i.postimg.cc/13fzPBBZ/ZB138.jpg 6 ...

Had to get my Hornet fix for the year and decided 10 jets in good weather was to good to miss, so headed down to Leeming for the arrival of the Swiss for York Night 24. First in was an Embraer 190 then a PC12 presumably with the support crew, then the Hornets arrived as 5 pairs over a period of abou...

Had an excellent afternoon/evening at Carlisle, in glorious sunshine. A visit by the Dutch King in a Gulfstream, a third Cougar and the Chinook that arrived on the Tuesday added to the aircraft that arrived on Monday, made for 10 aircraft altogether, not a bad catch and a great day out. 1 https://i....

I would say they are.

The Dutch are here for Tac Blaze once again and nice to have them back. They have brought 3 of their new "E" Apaches with them. Looking forward to the next 3 weeks of action up at the range. 1 https://i.postimg.cc/c4TvQbvC/TB24-01.jpg 2 https://i.postimg.cc/y8bWG3Xz/TB24-02.jpg 3 https://i...

Nice set Duane.

Down to Otterburn on Wednesday to catch these 2 Apaches that were going back and forth to Spadeadam. The weather was manky, low cloud and mist all day. 1 https://i.postimg.cc/wx5Dr3N1/01.jpg 2 https://i.postimg.cc/6qKn3xk6/02.jpg 3 https://i.postimg.cc/SKXW1rL4/03.jpg 4 https://i.postimg.cc/wvLDgjbb...

PC12?

That first shot's a beauty Michael.

Thanks for the reply.

I've noticed in a lot of posts from Lakenheath, that A4's and Alpha Jets are often featured. Are these permanently operating from there now, or is it just a long term contract?

Definately worth it Patrik. Lovely shots against some great backgrounds

Roswell - that could get some interesting participation.

Well it won't be much of a spectacle if they are all cloaked.

Very nice Dougie.

Some lovely shots there Macc, the first Sea King shot is a cracker.
