Hi all,
A few from the first week of Exercise Scot Night with the Swiss Hornets flying quite a bit during the day and an evening wave, up to 8 jets per wave.

Great set!

Stunning Niall.

Lovely bag of images there

Number 10 and that perfect light, tells the whole story!Lovely

A very nice set. Thanks for sharing.

Night shots are fantastic, but the whole set is great!

Great set , pin sharp .Really like the night shots.

Well done Niall, Top drawer set,
love the low sun shots as the F-18s roll off 05
Well worth the wait.

#12 for me Niall.........perfect! to

Great pics and as I'm in the middle of building a 1/72 F18 some great detail to check out. Thanks for posting.

Great light on those!

Stunning set, well caught

Very nice Niall. Can't make it up there myself, but if I could I was thinking of trying the "202 corner", as that was the sweet point for getting Tornados taking off. Do the Hornets have a take off run similar to the Tornado?

Thanks guys

Danny, quite the opposite, they're up quick and climb unfortunately. They're up like Typhoons on burner Unless of course you like 3/4 front underside shots then 202 is ok

Fantastic set of images - love the light on shots 9, 10 & 11

Very nice Niall,looking forward to some nightshots in the coming couple of weeks up there,and I better hope for a change of wind direction for departure shots on 05 I reckon!
