Hi gents,

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

Taber 11 going vertical


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

Cheers,
Mick

Stunning shot.

Breathtaking.

Whooa that's a bit tasty mate

Very very awesome!!! !! ;-)

Wow - one of those "you'll never get a better one" shots. Well caught.

With tanks no less

Very nice

Lovely

Good morning gents,

here are some more from a really nice sunny Friday morning.... just the take-offs
thanks for all comments, and hope u enjoy the second part too


...going vertical....!



Rwy 05 departure......



Burn Baby Burn.....!!!!



..the pilot checks his position, and then pulls-up!!!



low and loud and with an impressive performance climb!!



...luckily the weather was playing ball!



...still happy to leave the Eifel, but RTB an hour later!



The last fella to leave SP that moorning was 05-4097 / TY F-22 "Raptor"

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.

Wow

Simply stunning images

Thanks for sharing

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?

Stunning

All the best
Andy

McFee them's tasty

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

Great pics, all

Cheers

...last two

It was a fantastic morning, and I´m really happy with the shots I got away!

thanks for watching and the comments gents
