Re: Exercise Iniochos 2025
I have tried in vain to get on a organised trip to Iniochos 2025, but looks like it be the two of us. I have a question, would anyone know of a site that shows low level areas and vantage points for the exercise ?
If anyone can help it would be wonderful.
Thanks

A YORKNIGHT (well afternoon)
Hi All, After spending three days in the lakes waiting for the Swiss to treat me to a flypast, I decided with two days to go that I might need to take the Mountain to the Swiss, as they seemed reluctant to come anywhere near me whilst climbing various points around Thirlmere. So passport in hand I m...

Re: My 2024 Review
Well happy retirement first of all, looks like you wasted your first year with some really mundane and boring shots :-) Joking aside, what a wonderful, vibrant set of shots, variety a plenty with a nice hint of rarity, I would say you absolutely smashed it. Thanks for posting, if the following years...

Bali 21/07/24
Hi All, Not something I would even think of posting on here, normally straight in the bin due to the quality, but I just couldnt bring myself to do it !! Looking splendid for 43 years old machine, seen landing in Bali in some barmy temperatures, which as you can see killed the image with heat haze. ...

Exercise Pitch Black, Mindil Beach Thursday. Part 1.
Hello again all, After the first three days of the exercise it was time for the participants flypast, i had been looking to this the most and one of the reasons I chose the first week. For those that are not familiar with proceedings (like me a week before I went) the Thursday of the first week, the...

Re: Exercise Pitch Black Day 3 & 4 (Darwin, Australia)
Both sets are really stunning and a delight to see so many rarities What are the authorities Ike regarding military spotting in Australia, I heard they can be pretty negative? Thanks Slogan, If you read some of the posts coming out of the forums before the exercise, It was certainly a worry. In rea...

Exercise Pitch Black Day 3 & 4 (Darwin, Australia)
After being spoilt rotten on Day 2, I headed on on day 3 at daybreak, having shot the majority of the participants and not wanting the same shots over and over, I stayed quiet mobile on Day 3, some map studying and good old google maps allowed for the following shots be be had.

Following on from Pitch Black day 1......Day 2. pic heavy. (Darwin, Australia)
After the initial fact finding day 1, I was ready for day 2 and had researched as much as I could as to where to shoot from. I had been given some information regarding one place that departures could be shot from, so off I toddled, as it turned out , getting there at 7, just before light and the sp...

Exercise Pitch Black Day 1
Back in late June I was facing the prospect of turning 50, and despite my other half pestering me for over 12 months regarding if i wanted to go spotting somewhere for hitting the half century, here i was, sat with nothing booked. I had trawled the boards, and it was looking like RIAT or a long week...

Republic of Singapore Airforce Museum
A free couple of hours before a conference saw me make my way to Paya Labar to see if i could see any of the based F-15's, no such luck. Whilst at the base it would be rude not to visit the Museum, its not the biggest, but some nice items. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53787016776_51a324d692_b...

Lakenheath and this weird orange thing in the sky.
Had the rare combination of a Friday off and a object in the sky (which I have now managed to ascertain was something called the Sun) resulted in the following shots being grabbed. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/53749920791_a452ed2761_b.jpg EGUL100524- by Rob Burns , on Flickr 19-5493, Departin...

Egyptian Airforce Museum.
A short business trip to Cairo saw me having an afternoon to myself and the choice of Roof pool for Cairo arrivals, or chance the Museum. A quick check showed that the museum was open from 1100-1600, but as with many things in this wonderful country, if it says it opens at 1100 Hrs, there is every c...
