Hi All,
finally found some time to dig through the pics from Spotters Day (14.05.2015) organized in Caslav Air Force Base (CZ) during international Gripen excercise LION EFFORT 2015.
This is bi-yearly event organized by countries using Gripen equipment.
This years event took place in Czech Republic, garhering machines and people from Czech Republic, Hungary, Sweden and Thailand (unfortunately Thai forces came without the planes, just pilots and ground crews, using Swedish gear during excercises). RSA did not come (officially due to budget issues).
It was great day, well organized and interesting. 4 sorties, changing weather conditions (from dark sky in the morning to full sun in the afternoon), great company and tons of pics taken.
I used my Canon 70D + Canon 100-1400L IS lens, panning shots taken mostly at 1/80, 1/60 or 1/40s.
Lots of stuff in the air:
