6.5 hours on a hill with Steve (61_OTU) just for one Tucano!!!! (albeit a pretty one)

The first disappointment.....Tornado in the distance, unfortunately nowhere near us


     
Then, after spotting a glint in a far off valley about 9 people in a welsh valley were possibly the happiest men in the world....

     


     


     


     


     


     

USAF were around....but they were taking low flying to new heights....



Finally, the last big disappointment....a pair of harriers leaving the Bwlch and heading off towards Bala.....obviously Steve needs to reverse the polarity on his Harrier magnet

Lol... spotting can be a though hobby... at least the temperatures should have been ok...

Very nice work on the Tucano! The best looking trainer out there imho...  ;)

Ouch, tough day, although the tuscano is indeed pretty and clean

6.5 hours.  :o

You sure that wasn't a SAR Tucano?

Great shots Mic, and thanks for your 'Eagle' eyes, would never have spotted them myself  ;)

I was that close to pushing Steve off the side to get some snaps of a nice SAR seaking  ;)

Nice shots, Mic. What was so special about that Tucano?

Very nice, that F-15 with the moon looks great!

It's operated by Qinetiq or the Empire Test Pilot's School, as a test airframe, from Boscombe Down hence the nice colourscheme. Normal RAF Tucanos are all black (sometimes with yellow stripes)

I think that there's only a couple of Tucanos in the red and white colour scheme, so it's nice to get to see them  :)
