Saab Gripens....

[^^Gord^^]

I thought it was about time I posted some pictures and tested the water, these are a selection of Saab Gripens on finals to RAF Lakenheath (early Sept).

The OcUK guys who also hang out here will be used to seeing my mil aviation photos but I didn't get around to posting these over there so these photos will be new to them as well.

I'll also throw in a bonus Norwegian F-16 that was shot on the same day....

excellent pictures!
and they are noisy close-up (the planes - not the pix!) aren't they

these look ultra sharp. Last one for me as you can see the aircraft rather than it's belly. Looks like the stig in the flying seat.

Aviation photography doesn't really appeal to me at all, but these are excellent, perfectly exposed and tack sharp, last one for me :thumbs:

Thanks guys!

Nah, these are fine it's the Harriers and the F-15s that I worry about! :lol:

Excellent stuff Gord, the Gripen is a smart looking plane.
Lovely sharp shots.
