A cracking set of pictures.

Well, you certainly took advantage of that opportunity!
Great set, crisp and sharp.

Great shots. They'll be missed....best looking aircraft of recent decades in my opinion.

[TJF1]

Great set.

Many thanks everyone for the kind words.
Great to see them one last time but they will be missed that's for sure.
Let's hope we see them back as an ANG deployment soon!

Great set.
Beautiful angles on the aircraft.

Sad to see The Classic Eagle go from the European skies. One of the best looking fighter aircraft of all times. And one of last real air defence fighters, probably even the last dedicated air defence fighter in Europe.

lovely shots

They certainly will be missed by many.

hopefully still a couple more sorties please - still need the starboard side of 86-0172 in the sunshine!

Great tribute to a classic.
