12 days of shooting

Post by lozza » Thu May 19, 2016 7:45 pm

Well never thought 12 days off from work would result in so many varied photo's, week one was spent in Switzerland sightseeing, was staying near Meiringen so 18's had to be involved, a trip to the top of Europe (Jungfrau) on the train results in some unexpected hell action, then there was last Tuesday in the Mach loop, Wow is all can say about that, 8 years of waiting to get an F-16 low level was for me more special than the 22's but hell what a catch.

A few non military hope thats ok, all part of the last two weeks..

All absolutely stunning.

The F-16 low down is a beast.

All fantastic but that glider shot is breathtaking.

Amazing shots Laurie. So hard to chose a favourite :S

Well done and thanks for sharing . I went up the Jungfrau about 40 years ago. Breath taking views. In those days the Swiss AF had the Hawker Hunter. Love the F18's though :thumb:

I think you should change the title of this thread to " 12 days of Christmas" as I think all your Christmases have come along at once, what with you catching the F22's and F18's at the loop as well ;)

Congratulations

Cheers

There is no point trying to select a 'best of' from this post - every single one is a stunning image! Thanks for posting Laurie

If I were to select a favorite it would be the F-22 low level top side with the wood in the back ground (last F-22 shot) - that is just 'ace'

Thanks again

Hi Laurie,
What a great set of images.
I'm not even going to attempt to pick a favourite as they are all great :thumb:
All the best
