Fairly quiet couple of days with the highlight being the 6 Texans lined up on ASP5 the old 'Seahawk Line' - the shape of things to come. No 25Sqn jets flying since the one that came & went from Hawarden.

Very nice set, thanks for posting from a place we do not see images from very often.
Cheers.

Jesus, they've even got a red sticker on a Texan. Have any of those actually flown, post delivery? Can't recall seeing any pics of them flying.

Not as yet. This was the first time that all 6 had been out, probably training the turnaround crews.

A very nice set Hywel, they take me back some years to when I made annual trips, must try to visit again!

Hi Taff

Top set there, in belting weather too

Thanks for posting

Great to see AX at Valley.
Great post, be glad to finally see the Texans in the air, even though they have bought the wrong aircraft (PC-21 Cough Cough).

Lovely set pal

Thanks Taff.

nice to see the T-6s out and about.

There's (or was yesterday) a Texan at Glasgow Airport N2858B with '329' on the tail.

Really nice set

I would have been well chuffed to see ZK303

Fine set, as ever. Have you caught the XXV Sqn. Hawk yet as I'm interested in seeing the mks?

Further down the page, caught it on the ground at Hawarden last weekend. There are 2 apparently at the moment ZK029:FE & :FG don’t know the registration yet. Taff.
