Low level F-15's

Hi guys,

Been a while, but I thought you might find some of these interesting, there are more in my Flickr account

All from a trip to Wales last Friday. Fluffed the 7 Hawk passes, but we were treated to 18 total F-15 passes, with some very dynamic flying. These big birds are tricky to mess up when the light is as good as this  8-)

Hope you're all doing well

Steve

The reality of your shots to me, is that although they are great shots, I really wish it was me shooting them....not that I could do any better, but because it would be ME THERE, TAKING THE SHOTS !

Wow. Those are great. Keep them coming 8-)
Most people think that flying a plane is dangerous, except pilots because they know how easy it is.
Arguing with a pilot is like wrestling with a pig in the mud, after a while you begin to think the pig likes it.

Long time no talk Steve, nice pics, and great to see the MC130 in there too! Don't know when I'll next be in Wales, but I'll give you a shout! 8-)

:D Ey up Steve!

How long ago was it we were on the Bwlch when that Merlin came through?

I didn't know you were on here, although I do stalk you on UKAR sometimes. Yep, let me know if you develop any plans to head for Wales, just a case of trying to fit in the leave.

Thanks for all the comments folks  :)
