Evening folks,

Headed over to Leuchars today with mr Scobie (iains) in the hope of catching some French Navy exercise traffic arriving. Im not sure I have eagerly awaited aircraft participants for an exercise, as much as I have the thought of some Super Etendard's, so really didn't want to miss them, especially as I was on a day off.

Anyway, A French Navy Fa10 arrived around 10:30L and not long after my Gamble in the North East of Fife paid off: Kimono 11flt and 21flt were checking in on Scottish. A total of 7 Rafales who joined for a sporty fly through before splitting and recovering.

And then just an hour later, the Super E's began to show their presence, in two flights of three (seperated by a couple of hours). Boy, I love these jets!

Cracking set chap - last is superb (I like them close-up).

8, 9 & 11 are superb, lovely stuff Andy!

Great set, the Rafale looks a right "mean son of a bit**" head on.

Making me very jealous there Andy, some cracking shots, those Rafales do look the business with tanks on.


Thanks
Stevie

Cracking set of photos and jets Andy. Tour de force....like the old days!

May I ask if they positioned to a HAS area or main flight line? Thanks.

Regards, Ian

Very nice!

Absolutely superb. You have a difficult choice for the Photo of the Month competition!

Steven.

Great set on a grey day.
Hoping for blue skies next week:)

Brilliant Set of Photo's, The French Navy Rafale's Look so Much Better than Air Force Versions.

Cracking photos!

Superb set mate. Each one a winner. Very much looking forward to my time in the kingdom of Fife

cracking set there Andy.

I see you were having bit fun up there Andy during day very nice set shots

Fantastic set Andy, getting my juices flowing for my trip up North this weekend!

Great catch!

Lovely - the Rafale is a smart jet but the Etendard shots really stand out for me - great work.

Fantastic! The Etendard pictures are great! I'm going to try and head over when days off allow, looking likely to be the 22nd. Hopefully I'll catch the hawkeye too. Can I just ask where these were taken from? No Idea where is best for spotting/togging as I've only ever been to Leuchars during the airshow!

Excellent, they doooo look good.

Great shots there mate, thought there might have been a foto of the Falcon 10 lol only kidding,

yeah the shots of Rafales and Etendards are superb, love the close up shots there

I think these shots are taken from Reres wood if im not mistaken, a great place to get close up shots

All the best Dougie
