RAF Kinloss Simulated Airfield Attack 07/04/2014 (Pic Heavy)
Hi all, as part of Exercise Joint Warrior 14-1, troops staged a simulated airfield attack on RAF Kinloss. The assault included 5 Merlin, 3 Puma, 2 Apache, 2 Lynx, 1 Chinook and 2x C-130. Very interesting and exciting to watch!
On arrival at Kinloss, all seemed quiet with only this guy in the circuit......

Soon the internet forums and radios started crackling into life, with talk of 13 low level heli's on route from their fuel stop at Leuchars. The first inkling we had was this crafty fella, hiding in the trees...

Next "Battlecat Formation" called Kinloss as inbound, and we were greeted with the sight of 5 Merlins hammering towards us, a truly impressive sight!

Nice to see pics of Kinloss. I was working at the mouth of the Spey when the 5 choppers came in at low level they were at roof top level ,they hovered and done two circles of the field beside me,must have been ahead of time.
