Great photos from one of my favourite bases. Always wondered why the T2 is cleared to taxi with canopy open but the T1 isn’t The T1's canopy supports do not enable it to be taxied with the canopy open plus the canopy seals on the T1 inflate when the engine is started and so the canopy had to be shu...

Re: Exercise Cobra Warrior Action away from Base

Yes for the exact reason you asked, hence why no "Makos” from their recent deployment escorted by LN crews were not allowed to do the Loop. The Ban which came in place this y...
