Andravida - Greece 29-3-17

Post by MarkS » Fri Mar 31, 2017 8:05 pm

A great visit to this Phantom base during a multi national exercise with visiting Hellenic units as well as USAfres, ITAF, UAEAF, and IDF/AF participants. Lasting memory from the day will be being deafened by an F-4 taking off at full power at about 20-25 meters in front of us. I hadn't put ear plugs in at this point - bad move ! The first shot below was said F-4 .....taken with the lens at 24mm!

Very nice post Mark, good subjects with the benefit of excellent weather - like the mass flypast too

Just seen these mark, these are insane. To say I'm jealous is an understatement, hopefully catch up soon!

After looking at those silly F35's it's nice to see some proper dirty jets. Long live the Phantom!! :thumbs:

Hands down has to be one of the most exotic exercises I've seen. Superb participation and a blinding bit of photography
