"Exercise Daedalus 2010" Zeltweg

Post by wizard 51 »

Hi all.
This last week saw "Exercise Daedalus 2010".
The mission to help defend the skies over Davos World Economic Forum .The Eurofighter flew with average mission times of 1 hour and 50 minutes from Zeltweg without centre line tanks. Innsbruck had 6 Pc7s with gun pods detached from Zeltweg.The weather was far from ideal but the sun did shine a couple of times during the Week.

Those photographs are definitely the best pics I ever saw on the internet from Austrian Eurofighters so far! Well done! (But I still consider this specific aircraft as a boring grey and ugly fighter aircraft, sorry for that...)

Are these fantastic pictures made from outside the base? Can you describe the possibilities?

Great shots! The black of the wheels really pops, excellent. And of course you have to love the prop blur, but that's a personal opinion.

Wow, that is some fine winterlight you caught there! Thanks for sharing and well done.
To those who have never been to Zeltweg, the eastern approach resembles Gilze-Rijen.

Hi Robert /All
I see i replied on UKAR to Rob

As a fair few will already know
These are taken outside.
The approach is runway 28 which they use most of the time.
A Austrian friend has never seen them taking off to the East (runway10)except i believe the Air Power Airshow.

Landings are great and the ef2000s do taxi to the end of the runway to line up.
However the sun will be a problem later in the Day.
A 3 to 5 step ladder is needed for the optimum taxi shot.(more side on)

The Austrain Air Force has limited flying hours and with the long range sorties these Days, this is eating up the time spent on take offs and landings like the Draken use too.
