Re: Spotting during the pandemic
Well I'm out on Wednesday. My mental health cannot take being cooped up any longer. A few photos of planes and wildlife will sort me out nicely.

Great set George. It was an awesome evening and brought back memories of the good old days. My two sons were awed by the sheer noise and power. They haven't stopped talking about it.
Well done LPG.
