GreyGhost Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Beautiful shots, Gary ... There always seems to be a diminutive WSO in at least one of the LN Strike Eagles ... -Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll see what I can do for next week - weather permitting. I noticed that with the WSO again, it's not the first time either. If it's always the same one, he/she must get a lot of hours!

gary1701 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Gents, Another batch from this evening, taken over the fence from a ladder this time rather than through it (but back a bit as the security guys tend to get upset if you put a ladder beside the fence!) as the last wave of the day came back and just caught the only sunlight of the day. All 494th E models including the OC's aircraft. No 493rd FS C's as the majority are at Nellis for Red Flag. Looks like when the 493rd come back from Nellis they're gonna find a jet short of a rudder!

Ken Middleton Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 great shooting as usual Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gary1701 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 (edited) Gents, Similar routine again from last night, with a slight twist though. Lakenheath is on 'nights' for a couple of weeks so had ago at some dusk departures. I'm usually a fair weather photographer so this was a leap into the dark in more ways than one. Arrival while there was still a little light about. After sunset departures, about four/five sharp frames from the 100 plus shot at 1/80 of a second. I do wish that one day they would actually finish working on the taxiways! Gary Edited August 15, 2012 by gary1701 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 fantastic shots Gary! You did very well with that arrival and those burners Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 These LN shots are awsome, Hard to beleive that was my first base and I only have 1 year left before my 20 is up. Looking at some of those tail numbers I remenber working a few of those and they were the first jets I ever touched. WOW! Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi, Glad to hear that.It's always nice when some pics bring back some memories like that. Those Fiscal Year 91 jets are from the 48th's inital complement, the later jets arrived and replaced the FY 90 jets with the 48th. I was at the American themed day at the Duxford Museum here in the UK yesterday and was speaking to some of the 494th FS Eagle drivers on their stand and one of the guys was in the front seat of one those jets on Tuesday evening. They're on nights next week so hopefully will have another go. Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gary1701 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Gents, A couple from today. Taken earlier in the day than the last few posts, so are from the other side of the field. Very suprised to see the C models from the 493rd FS out in numbers today (yesterday was a bank holiday in the UK), as having only returned last week from a couple of months in the US, including Red Flag, I expected them to take some time off. Most caught the building cloud, but here's a couple. Had to look at the pic a couple of times when I saw the AIM-9M round on the jet below as the 493rd has been operating with the AIM-9X for years. I wonder why? Usual configuration. One from the 494th FS. Lots of activity but too much cloud. Gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 very nice Gary, every now and then I will see an older AIM-9 on a rail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jonny2174 Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks Holmes, I hope to get started on it soon too! But right now I am still gathering photo references and doing some research, and once I get a few exams out of the way, then I can start building that Mudhen!

flanker27 Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hi Ken, Fantastic shots as usual, no 2 above is awesome Song Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hacker Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Question. Rumours has it the Germans with their Typhoons did very well at the recent Red Flag exercises. How did the F-15C fare? One wonders if they can still hold their own even against the newer generation of fighters? I know the old bird still has talons and can cut you badly even now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
