Tornado GR4 Air to Air

[phil collins]

These were taken on the way to and from the Santiago Airshow March/April 2006. They were taken on my old Fuji 5500, through an aircraft window with a polorizer on so hence the quality is not great but I thought I would share anyway, any comments would be most appreciated, Thanks for looking.

Me too :thumbs: :D

Good set of shots. I like Number 8 best :thumbs:
(number 1 is not as good as the rest)

[mole2k]

Awesome shots, although did you use a polariser because there is a lot of cross polarisation going on.

[Morph]

The quality looks good considering the camera you were using. Nice compositions, you lucky man!!!

Is that a teddy looking out on the last one??? !!! It is only 6.11am so I'm not quite awake. After being woken by an earth tremor at 1.00am!

Superb set on pictures!!

Great set Phil. I was out with the VC10 tankers back in the eighties and although I never had a camera then it remains a special memory.
:thumbs:

Kev, it is a teddy and you have not gone mad!!!!!! they transported it in each A/C on the trip and got them sponsored for charity, can't remember which one though. Thanks all for your comments................yes I was very lucky to get on this trip.

Good to see the Tonkas with all those tanks on. Thanks for sharing.

[Sandds]

They are special shots and unique, not many people will get that opportunity.

Well done.

Shrimperblue, I am in the RAF and was part of the support party that went to Santiago and we flew on the tanker, the 2 Tornados stayed with us the whole way there and back. very cool.
