That Phantom shark mouth is awesome - and an interesting weapons load too. And that RAF typhoon take off shot with a (very) early gear retraction is very nice. Very envious. Look forward to seeing more from the next 2 days.

Cracking shots, the TuAF Rhino's look sublime. By the looks of it most spirited departure has to go to the 3 & 11 Sqn Typhoons

PHANTOMS!
However best take off has to be 3 Sqn Typhoon in number 14
Altogether an excellent set

The second batch are excellent, especially the Qatari M2000, Those low angle shots look good as well

It is very present, but workable, mainly due to being so close !
