The End of the Film - Larissa 2017

Post by Mictheslik » Fri May 19, 2017 9:34 pm

I've finally got around to editing my shots from Greece two weeks ago. A sad occasion and the end of the Recce Phantom in Europe. Having never been to Greece before, let alone to photograph military aircraft, I was unsure what to expect. I needn't have worried: The squadron and HAF personnel were exceedingly welcoming over both days and put on a great event (even if it lacked topsides!)

Great post of my favourite mark of Phantom, the RF-4. I think it looks great in the Vietnam era scheme and picture 36 my personal favourite. :clap:

Looks like a great event - the smoke beings back some distant memories of Lakenheath.

F-16 cockpit with the pilot's shadow, great catch.
