Thanks for the heads up, Jeroen in particular. Thanks for looking. Welcome back 493rd

Good stuff

Next wave should in soon , hoping they do the northern taxi way thing again.

My shots have only made it as far as Flickr due to time constraints.

Cheers Mike enjoy Paree. Not going for the next flight, hopefully someone will post some photos of them.

Good shots

How many F-15Cs were deployed ???

Yeah really nice takes thanks

Nice set Nick, your son will soon be beating the " old man ".
Cheers.

Great shots. Didn't know the "C's" could carry Targeting Pods?

Nice shots Nick! Certainly got the better weather.

Thanks for the comments, All but one of the pods in my photos are the AN/AAQ-33 Sniper Advanced Targeting Pod (ATP) and there are two more in Jame’s post of the second flight.

Worth reading these if you’re interested.
