Hi,
For few days, seven aircraft from CVW-1 were deployed at NAS Landivisiau in french brittany in order to train with local Rafale M.
They arrived without notice, and there wasn't any formal communication about this event.
So when I was there last week the weather plays ball

There were two F/A-18F from VFA-11


There were too, four F/A-18E from VFA-34, VFA-211 and VFA-81 like this one


As usual at NAS Landivisiau, it is possible to take some bank shoot like this VAQ-137 Growler


In my opinion, the highlight of this bunch was this CAG bird

Always better when they arrive unannounced, great shots well taken.

Now that is something different and very welcome.
Thanks for sharing your great quality photos of variants of a great airframe

Ooh, very nice.

Thanks for posting them.

Very nice shots, thanks for sharing these with us.

Great to see, lovely images too, the Growler especially.

Definitely a 'Right place / Right time' opportunity! Nice surprise as they were without any advance notice.
Those tip-in shots are the best with the CAG-Bird taking the honours.

Killer shots you got there! Thanks for sharing

Absolutely lovely, stunning shots!

Superb,

Lovely detailed captures of very nice subjects, CAG bird is nice but the Growler is the top shot for me.

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed them.
