Great shots there mate, thought there might have been a foto of the Falcon 10 lol only kidding,

yeah the shots of Rafales and Etendards are superb, love the close up shots there :thumb:

I think these shots are taken from Reres wood if im not mistaken, a great place to get close up shots :thumbs:

All the best Dougie :)

A brilliant set of pics! A fantastic amount of detail and all razor sharp. The head on shots of the Rafale are particularly good IMHO.

Great work Andy, the Rafale is one good looking jet head on.

FuriousGM wrote:Fantastic! The Etendard pictures are great! I'm going to try and head over when days off allow, looking likely to be the 22nd. Hopefully I'll catch the hawkeye too. Can I just ask where these were taken from? No Idea where is best for spotting/togging as I've only ever been to Leuchars during the airshow!
Also Looks to me like these were taken from the woods just off the section of coastal path accessed from the track at Commerton cottage on North side of the base.

This site is about 15-20 mins walk from the vehicle access but well worth it. Fence is about 50 yards from the Northern Taxiway at this point.
