F15s - Just on Cue

[bladeowner]

Coming home from Norfolk yesterday and captured these on the dashcam - perfect timing.

Nice I was coming the opposite way to you back when I had my Calibra same thing happened they were doing touch and goes luckily had the sunroof open was amazing sound especially the afterburners

[bladeowner]

Yes the one on the left just touched the runway while the other did a low level pass parallel to the runway.

That's rather cool.

They'd probably been through the Mach Loop in N.Wales earlier on. Now that is spectacular ! https://youtu.be/boqQ0y2UfuM

For about 4 Years i went to the 'loop' before it became a too busy place with the social media hype and what comes with that ,In all weathers (rain and shine , freezing winds to a baking hot day with no where to shelter) i had a blast !!!..The Yanks from Lakenheath called up over the scanner passing through the ' Litchfield corridor' ( air space around the midlands) asking for weather/air pressure and there intentions for LFA7 ( low fly area 7).. They call it the 'Roundabout' , Unlike the RAF the Yanks would normally only drop down if the weather/ Vis was near perfect but when they did they did put on a show

My Favourite place was sitting on 'Corris corner' over looking 'Llyn Mwyngil' lake, watching the Birds of prey soaring past , sheep dogs rounding up sheep a few hundred feet below looking like dots .and in sight of the woman's house who phones the RAF to complain of the noise !!
Without warning unlike Cad/Bwlch a jet would sweep around the corner or if on one occasion the Yanks would fly straight at you for a photo session if set up by the pilot with from the base like in #1,2,6

The RAF Tornado ( swept back were the best ) and the visiting countries using the area for training were bonkers low on occasions, Hawks from the local RAF Valley were very good and speedy , Typhoons were ok but nothing like the F-15's or the Tornado

RIP the Tornado from service soon

Fantastic!

[Chris_D]

Awesome!
I was in the ATC as a nipper and got to go up in Hawk T2 trainers aswell as Chinooks, and jumping out of the back of a Hercules for static line parachute training.
I was also fortunate to go up in a Buccaneer as a prize after winning a sharpshooter competition but my huge regret is not going up in the Tornado when it was on offer as I had fekin chickenpox. grr

A swordfencing accident with my left eye put paid to my aspirations as a fighter pilot.
hey ho

Great photos Jonnyweb142! Love the Double Rockhorns in #7 I've been up on CadEast half a dozen times in the last year and it's always busy now, sometimes very busy

[Jaw]

Those photos are awesome!

Spent a lot of time near to Lakenheath and Mildenhall growing up as I had family near there - used to love the Mildenhall air show, I remember watching the Tornados doing their drills in the area, wish I was older and had access to a good camera at the time

Amazing photos.

We live about 15 miles as the fast jet flies from Lakenheath, so get a variety of planes making low level passes over our house. No real regularity to when they come over so I've never tried to take any photos of them.

A few years ago I did wish I had my camera to hand - sitting out in the garden when this low rumbling started, increasing rapidly to a deafening roar as the last flying Vulcan bomber on its farewell tour flew directly over my house at very low level. Awesome sound!

[Jonnyweb142]

Thanks guys for the comments, It took a year to get a 300-500'ish mph jet in view/focus let alone get a sharp image through the view finder

@pbr67_zedI ......I did see the Vulcan many times before retirement at airshows, shame what the 'Trust' has done it . i'll say no more



A few from Eastbourne 2015 ( Shooting into the sun on a sunny day on the south coast is not the best )
