Hi all,
A few from the first week of Exercise Scot Night with the Swiss Hornets flying quite a bit during the day and an evening wave, up to 8 jets per wave.

Very nice Niall. Can't make it up there myself, but if I could I was thinking of trying the "202 corner", as that was the sweet point for getting Tornados taking off. Do the Hornets have a take off run similar to the Tornado?

[np1991]

Thanks guys

Danny, quite the opposite, they're up quick and climb unfortunately. They're up like Typhoons on burner Unless of course you like 3/4 front underside shots then 202 is ok

[DanBeeden]

Fantastic set of images - love the light on shots 9, 10 & 11

Very nice Niall,looking forward to some nightshots in the coming couple of weeks up there,and I better hope for a change of wind direction for departure shots on 05 I reckon!
