RAF Leeming 15/04/16

Post by Jamesfair94 » Sat Apr 16, 2016 12:00 am

Well After 4 days of nothing the week before I decided to head to leeming to try and catch the French taking part in JW16-1. yes I might sound weird that I had hoped that we would get some rain to make the runway nice and wet for at least one departure and just before the afternoon launch it did just that. I still cant get other the high pitch whine of the engines of the Rafale :thumbs: . now to get on to the images :P

The morning Launch:
