Yes
It's rare you get advance notice of anything going through the Mach Loop in Wales, but the Belgian air force posted on Facebook saying they were at a family airshow and would be going through the Loop the following day. Last minute leave request thrown in and a 5 hour round trip was worth it for this shot.

Taken with the Canon R3 and RF 70-200mm f/2.8L. Dropped my shutter speed to 1/160 for this shot.

You feel the pressure when you're sitting on the edge of that mountain all day long and you've got one shot at it, for the 3 seconds you see them :ROFLMAO:

2 prints are on the way to their base in Belgium, one for them to keep and the pilot is signing the other and sending it back.
