NATO Tiger Meet 2019 Mont-de-Marsan

[MRTT]

Beja 2020, Kleine Brogel 2021.

[Starbuck]

Beja Portugal for 2020? I think I might have to attend my first Tiger Meet, not too far from my favourite bit of the Algarve.

I was asked what the specially painted Austrian Saab105 that didn't fly was - I can belatedly see from my photo it is GD-14

[IanOlder]

I'm glad the sun was behind the cloud and rain today as the sheer heat would have killed all runway shots for everybody.

Wow, there’s trying to take the positives out of a rough day but...seriously?
Maybe it’s just me but surely for most photographers a bit of haze and decent light has to be preferable to the horrendous conditions today.

All depends what you want. I'm extremely happy with the photos I've came away with and dropping down to 1/50th was a lot of fun. Trust me. I'm sure I'm not the only one who hates shooting in heat haze

Does anyone have any semblance of a complete list from yesterday ,trying to patch one together from photos taken but I know I missed some just because it was tipping it down when things were on the move,
All help greatly recieved TIA.

Id rather have a sharp unhazed but dull shot than an unusable hazed out sunny one that has to be deleted

[Green133]

My second tiger meet.
The rain was disappointing,but a great day with the bonus of the 3 displays in the afternoon. The French were very accommodating and welcoming.
Hopefully I can make it to Portugal next year.

[slogen51]

I will have a complete list ( as I am sure others will have) once I have gone through my photos plus one or two that didn't fly

[PeteF]

After a very recent week at Fallon, Rainbow Canyon and Chino airshow I would much rather have the sun and the opportunity to photograph aircraft in great light (even with the risk of some shots lost through haze) than grey skies and wet days. Sadly chose not to go to the Tiger Meet because of the Met but accept I lost the opportunity to photograph great Tiger themed aircraft.

Scramble have posted a list with additions added by others that ties it all up very well.
