For me the highlight of my aviation photography during 2015 was the visit by the 4 Indian Air Force Sukhoi Su-30's to RAF Coningsby.

For me, it has to be the night launch at Red Flag 15-1 back in February. I went to photograph the gorgeous aggressor Eagles one last time, and came home with a shot of the 493rd at last chance as one of my favourites from the trip.

I'll throw this shot in of a CV-22 Osprey callsign "Knife 75" On a Low level training sortie in Wales. Taken 09/07/15 this was a big highlight of mine this year,

Pretty poor year for me at Low Level, but this Norwegian P3 at East Fortune, is my best LL catch this year.
