This is my first post on Fighter Control where I will share with you guys some of my highlights through the years of spotting. I am a 17 year old boy from Malta who really has a passion for aviation and I really love travelling abroad for airshows or events, in fact I've been to RIAT last year, Bruntingthorpe and I will be making my way to Radom this August! So lets get started, hope you like the photos in chronological order, enjoy
