Iniochos 2025 - my take of spotters day and a little bit of low level.

Iniochos 2025 spotters day this year fell on the Monday, following the Hellenic Air Force faffing about and moving of dates, that got a lot of spotters backs up. Such is the nature of military exercises, nothing is simple and this year was no different. Due to the volume of participants it was decided the Easterly taxiway would be required so the spotters were restricted to the usual location in front of the control tower. Not great for the morning wave, shooting into the sun, but with half decent camera settings and a little bit of post processing, nothing is that unsurmountable.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning were spent in the mountains, unfortunately such is the nature of low level shooting nothing is simple. The weather didn't play ball, but neither did the jets with on a pair of tornados in poor light on Tuesday, a pair of polish Vipers for Wednesday (a late Indian Su-30 passed through on a sighting run albeit high and we'd already left for the beer debrief having been told the sortie was cancelled), then the hard work and stars aligned come Thursday morning and we were blessed with a pair of Spanish hornets escorting the magical Indian Flanker.... here's my take! (More being added to Flickr continuosly)....

Stunning set of pictures - it may not be an 'action' shot but I absolutely love No.13. Thanks for posting. B

Really like no.13 as well. There can be a huge amount of atmosphere in this sort of shot. One can almost feel the crew's anticipation and tension etc.,
