So i miss counted, only 21 images. Sorry wasn't able to get pictures of the radar room, but as i said was dark and I really didn't want to distract the controllers with a flash, even if it wasnt a verry busy day  ;) Im going to post the videos on putfile or something elce, All coments welcome  :)


Edit:

Got the videos online, first is the carrier break and then is an F-16 landing

I see them many times a day flying over my house, courts which is the point where most DM fighters turn for final, is about 1/2 a mile from my house so seeing a-10s at an airshow is nothing special for me lol ;D ;)

Seeing a Tornado at an airshow is nothing unusual for me and I go to a base full of them quite often, but I bet it's quite rare for you to see any of them ;)

A major coup there, and some really sweet photos. I really ought to wheedle my way into a tower near me one of these days. ;D
