Spent a day down at RAF Leuchars after the last of my exams. Got an absolute belter of a day, the weather was fantastic and the action was quite good for the airbase.
The morning wave consisted of 9 aircraft.
Scimitar flight - 4 Tornado F3 of 111(F)sqn
Turbo, Cannon and Boxer - 4 Typhoon FGR4, 1 Typhoon T3 of 6(F)sqn.
Ascot 803 - C17 of 99(R)sqn which did about two hours of circuits.
In the afternoon the locals provided us with 7 aircraft.
Export flight - 2 Tornado F3 of 111(F)sqn (JU/ZE734 and HF/ZE791/JU-L)
Turbo, Cannon and Boxer - 4 Typhoon FGR4, 1 Typhoon T3 of 6(F)sqn..
Army Air 852/855/857 - Army Lynx AH7(?) which arrived and departed under those three callsigns.
Hotspur(?) - Falcon 20.

Forum rules
This 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. |
