Iniochos 2022 - Low level flying

Post by Savvas_ »

For this year's Iniochos 2022 exercise, I opted to chase aircraft while flying low level sorties, sacrificing the two Spotters' Days held at Andravida AB. The weather was not an ally at most of my tries, but I managed to get some decent photos with decent weather.

I will be updating this post as I process my photos!

All pics are included in the Flickr Iniochos 2022 album.

C&C are always welcomed!

Great shots. From above the Block 52 Vipers really do look different don't they?!

Lovely set, I think you made the right choice on missing out on the spotter's days.

Recent software upgrades made me revise some of the photos from last year's Iniochos exercise. Managed first wave's IAF F-16I Sufas and updated the images in the thread. But more to come.

I placed a link to the whole Flickr Iniochos 2022 album at the topmost post.

Here are some previously unposted photos!

Very nice shots indeed and a great opportunity. Love those bulked up F-16s especially.

Noted in image number 2 - that LN Strike Eagle with 'Razzle Dazzle' on the air brake. Any idea what that's about? Presumably a crew nickname somewhere along the line.

All superb, but those Israeli F-16s just look so good, camo rules!

Great set.
