SLUFs, Rhinos and the odd Tiger too.

Post by dollar99 » Thu Aug 17, 2017 2:47 pm

So another folder scanned and put to bed. Looks like lots of A-7 deployments arrived in less than ideal light, I didn't take anywhere near enough Phantoms and F-5s but here are a few selected highlights :D

Great to see some quality shots of the A-7 :thumb:

The other two types go without saying. Great a/c and good captures :thumbs:

Very nice indeed

Your wittering shots are a lot better than mine.

( I remember one year hundreds of spotters parked on the verge by the A1 south - how did we get away with that! )

I have a lot worse Wittering shots ;) As to the parking, I remember the cars, I remember the numbers of people on the footpath, but somehow we managed it with the minimum of fuss. Can't imagine it happening now!

That Edwards style F-5E must be at an early Paris show as it looks like a Fokker VFW-614 behind it !

Paris 1975 show. There was an E and an F present. The F-5E was delivered to Jordan, while the F-5F ended up at Williams AFB :D
