Introducing the Dark Falcon

Post by Thor » Sat Jun 02, 2018 6:33 am

A few A2A pics of this year's BAF Solo F-16 Display aircraft as flown by Sr Capt Stefan "Vador" Darte. Shots were from the ramp of CH-07 on 25/Apr/18.
Thanks to BAF HQ PR for arranging the flight, Florennes AB for hosting us, and Sr Capt Darte for accommodating the needs of the photographers onboard.

Hopefully we'll see a lot more shots of Vador & Dark Falcon in action over the coming show season, the full display is very photogenic.
