Gran Canaria 12/13.2.19

[TAFFEVANS]

Whilst on Holiday took the opportunity to pop down to the Joint Civil/Military Airport. Only spent a couple of hours each time with the F-18's (3 actually) launching around 0920-50 for a 1:20hr sortie. At the same time the Casa would launch around 0900 for a couple of hours. First Day the Military used 03L & 03R on the second day.
