Lots of Photos

As odd as it sounds, now that I've travelled half-way around the world I have a little time to post some images I have been meaning to show you. My family and I have flown from our home in England to our "real" home in Alaska for a short holiday (and anything short of living here is a short holiday) but I've got a little time to share these images.

First up is a couple of "waving shots" from my first time to LFA7 in Wales. One is the backseater of a Tornado waving and the other a Hawk backseater who might be waving, might be unfolding a map or perhaps trying to get into a bacon sarnie (sandwich).





Next is a new plane in my catalog, a 1950's era bomber turned into a weather reconnaisance bird flown by NASA: the WB-57. Caught departing from RAF Mildenhall on a typically misty/murky day.



And finally fr0m the previous weekend when we were in Wales. My family had never been so we took a 3-day jaunt over to see the sights. On our final day I was able to convince them to dump me off at Dinas Bwlch while they explored some area attractions and during my 3 hours up on the middle shelf got a couple of cracking images of the Saudi Tornado blasting through the Blwch (complete with a herd of sheep in one of them!) after enduring about an hour of pretty horrible weather. But first, what must be a crime if you're an aviation photographer; a 2-seat Hawk going through Mach Loop with an empty back seat.







And a great big THANKS to the 3 men up on the Blwch with me that day, you made a miserable day a memorable experience with your company. See you soon.
