Are these fantastic pictures made from outside the base? Can you describe the possibilities?

Sure Robert .
These are taken outside.
The approach is runway 28 which they use most of the time.
A Austrian friend has never seen them taking off to the East (runway10)except i believe the Air Power Airshow.

Landings are great and the ef2000s do taxi to the end of the runway to line up.
However the sun will be a problem later in the Day.
A 3 to 5 step ladder is needed for the optimum taxi shot.(more side on)

The Austrain Air Force has limited flying hours and with the long range sorties these Days, this is eating up the time spent on take offs and landings like the Draken use too.
