This fella was the warm up act......

A nice low pass from the Tucano.

It all went a bit quiet then this beauty came tear arsing into the valley, I have seen many on my travels but never got chance to photograph one, awesome sight and what a bloody noise, just fantastic to watch !

We had the Anniversary Hawk through with another, both very high against a bright sky so won't bother posting. Although only there for a short time it made up for yesterday.

I think I saw an F-16 just after I arrived home, we knew they were around but typical I missed the pass / es, lol !

#3 for me. The plane seems to work better against the backdrop. I think pressing Enter between the shots would help us see them more clearly. In this set it would show the shots off better.

LoL.......... the 4 hours was spent inside the Cloud :bonk:, very strange experience.

Like you I got there at 8am, Grrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!!, Car park full of Non Locals ;)

Had to drive down to the lower car park, climb a very big hill from the bottom car park.

Left the Hill at 5.15 having only seen the 2 hawks, not a good day, and the sheep I had shared the ledge with for over 6 hours, started to take a liking to me :love:,............ Time to leave.

Ha!!!!!!!!!!! Going back to Cad West tomorrow, got a feeling it's going to be a good day.

Will have seen you at some point, our guys had instruction to block me in, thus creating more space for the locals ;)

Brilliant set of shots, nice to know they occasionally jet wash the underside of these Typhoons!.... All the photo's I've taken have this yellowish gunk infront of the tailpipes! I'm sure the RAF technicians have a word for this which I'd (anorak mode!) like to be enlightened!
