The first of the 'furry' F-15s does it for me Loz.
Make sure you're not on shift next weekend - Harry's threatening to fly his F-100 if the weather's OK!

All pictures taken with a Nikon D300 and Nikon 300mm F2.8 Vr lens, yes they are close but not as close as the pictures make them look, thats not saying it does'nt get close some days, best we don't mention those days, GR-4 Tornado's on form on Cad West are outstanding, Harriers really get down low, Typhoons are rare but impressive, but theirs something about the Eagles that just never fails to impress, their not normally as low as the RAF guys but every now and them you get one that drops right down and an Eagle in the weeds is mind blowing

Do you run across Mark Jayne out there? He is another RC nutter that sits up in the hills and gets awesome photos like you. Love 'em. Keep posting.

Thanks for the link Jim. Great videos. Also explains why the jets are yanking and banking. Apparently flying a low level/terrain masking route through the valleys. Not sure why some of them are going into burner unless its to impress the crowd of photographers!

Lozza,
I am sure you edit all your photos and I would be curious to see a side by side of an unedited photo and an edited photo. A lot of the art of good photography is in post production and it would be a great learning tool for me to see how you do it. Your shots are amazing.

How often do you go out there. Do they fly every day are some months better than others
I ask because i would like to take a trip there to see what you guys get to see.
If anyone here in the USA wants to plan a trip I am game. I work for the airlines so its real easy for me to go

David summer leave can make it quiet, but generally its suck it and see, bit like fishing, yes they fly most days but nothing is set in stone i have had blanks, a good day will give 20 - 30 movements sometimes more sometimes less. Aslo weather can play its part.
If your planning a trip and you want some company to show you the way give me a call if you want, i'll get some time off work
Regards
