Excellent report and the FA-50 was a great catch; well done!

Nicely caught Jay.

An exciting and enjoyable trip to St Dizier 2022. Rafales galore and a few like you never saw before.

Spent some time at RAF Boscombe Down on Tuesday to watch the "Black Eagles practice routine. I thought they were great and I love the T-50 jets, certainly nice to hear a jet team with a bit more Umph! 1. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52199440380_6b83ac0dd1_h.jpg ROKAF T-50's RAF Boscombe Down ...

Great photos, as usual, Dougie; not jealous at all

Cheers, Mike.

Great light on the beast!

Navarra, Northern Spain and the last resting place of many of the Spanish Air Force F-4 Phantoms. Perhaps better not to look if you adore the F-4 Phantom!
