Exercise Highland Dagger - RAF Leuchars 10/05 (Pic Heavy)

Post by dannyboyo20 » Tue May 18, 2021 4:47 pm

Hi all,

Our annual jaunt up to Lossiemouth for Joint Warrior started with a diversion to an old haunt, former RAF Leuchars in the hope of catching some of the USMC heli's which had been visiting from and to USS Iwo Jima and San Antonio. One V22 and one CH53E operated from and to RM Condor ferrying troops back and forth, amazing to see!

Kind Regards, Danny

Cheers Mike! Was Monday 10/05. I was praying the Viper and Venom would return as they did on Friday, but no such luck. However I won’t complain! :)

Excellent set.

Haven't got tired of seeing all the helicopter/Osprey photos taken while the USMC carrier is off the shores of the UK.


Thanks for posting.
