Spangdahlem 11-09-2015 - Tabor 11 going vertical!

Post by migf4 » Sat Sep 12, 2015 6:49 am

Hi gents,

yesterday the "Boneheads" left Spangdahlem in the morning, but returned to "Spang" after some tanker issues with the "CLEAN" ones :Oops: !
And so another take/off in the afternoon, and a second wave was flown, which was just a short "shop" to Mildenhall.

A visit to the home of the "Sabers" never disappoints - especially when the deployed Raptors , screaming away like this :clap:

Cheers,
Mick

I think "going vertical " would mean a 90° angle, but the picture shows a 45° maximum angle... I know the F22 has a good reputation, but I have seen quite a few other aeroplanes climbing with a steeper angle. Wonderful pictures anyway.

Beautiful clear crisp images. The 'last' jet isn't actually 05-4097, but the one above is! I'm afraid under UK Trades Description Act these are Not going vertical & therefore the title is misleading, or you need to apply some of the finest jaunty horizon PP. to the standard format of Poland? :whistle:

They look so much better with stores under the wings (do they carry the same tank as the F-16?).. and they'll never need the stealth tech anyway so the more stores the better ;)
