A fews days out in the Loop

Post by A380_sully »

Well August has the nett sum of one visit to the hills, so you'll have to settle for a few days out in July and that one occassion.

First up was 10th July, pre-RIAT, with some international friends calling in for a flying visit:

Best C-130 pass I've ever witnessed through CAD, the below shot is taken from the top of East, shooting down at my feet as he knife edged through that low that the squiggly line above the fuselage is actually the path up to CAD West.....

Then a bit of jet action:

Then due to the wx forecast we opted to stay at RIAT departures rather than chase optimistic French visitors in LFA7, oh well, you take your chances... so a couple of arty farty RIAT shots for you....

Then a day in the Loop again 9th August....

And finally trying to capture the BBMF low level over Lancashire, placed ourselves at 650ft for 500ft flypast, then they turn up and do it at 800ft.... again you've got to be in it to win it ......

As ever comments, criticism and tips always welcomed......

Cheers,
