Post by kstater94 » Mon May 09, 2016 1:01 am

Flankers and Jaguars and Vipers... oh MY!

Also blessed with some Eagles!

Last week (May 3rd and 4th) I had the pleasure of photographing the exercise with some fine photographers from around the world. you'll see their images in some upcoming publications

Until that time, I hope you enjoy some of my images

Forgive the picture quantity

Hope you all like them

Cheers!
John

Great shots, John :thumb:
A memorable couple of days on base, it was good to meet you and the other guys.
Well worth the effort for those awesome Jags alone :thumb:

Superb shots from a great location.
My local base was Coltishall when the RAF operated the Jaguar. Good to see some still flying in the world, and nicely captured!
Cheers,
Chris

Very nice set of images, especially getting those results in some not so pleasant weather!

The Jaguar images are just stunning and the pick of a fantastic selection! :thumb:
