Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Paddy's Day in the Loop

Post by IrishAirPics »

What better way to spend your national day than going to another country and photographing their military aircraft flying at low level...

Went to the Mach Loop on March 17th, St. Patricks Day, in the hopes of seeing copious amounts of flying action, while there was action it wasn't exactly copious! Had a single Hercules C.5 come past once followed by two passes from an F-15 Strike Eagle with a single pass by an RAF Hawk to end the day.

By all accounts the F-15 was lower than normal, this was only my second time in the Loop and everyone I've ever spoken to about the F-15's remarks that they always come in high, however this guy came in at the same level as me so he can't have been too high. The Hawk pilot also took the time to wave. Thanks for that!

Anyway, on with the pictures, more can be found here


Regards,

Frank.
