Welsh Air Display USAF style

Saw these on another forum, don't know who took them and sorry if they have been shown before but they make a change from Hawks.

Nice paint scheme on the top of the wings, would make great camouflage against clouds

Very Warry

Outstanding photos! Wouldn't want to be the wrong side of that feller!

Yes, much better than a couple of Hawks.

PS. Why has s/he got a dayglo jumper on the dashboard?

Absolutely loved #3 with #2 a close second. You should put them up to Aviation Week & Space Technology mag for their yearly photo comp. A prestigious award to put on the mantle piece.

So you're one of those hardy types that climb the Welsh mountains with a bag of photo-kit waiting for us to fly by? You're obviously very keen and dedicated.

Good on yer Ricko, glad to see your fantastic photographs. Have these been taken up by any of the magazines?

Runaway gun.

Yes, i am one of them.
I was out again yesterday in Wales.

I don't send them to magazines.They are for personel use and aircrew when they ask for them.

It was quite a shock to see them on here this morning as i know you guys don't appreciate being bombarded with photographs from photogs all the time.

Ricko.

Right place; right time; awesome results:

Looking forward to some more, and details of hardware used would be nice.

You must make some money from these photos, atmosphere like that in an image is a rare treat, and a suitable renumeration would be a just reward.

Heartily agree. Now if you'll excuse me we've just run out of Kleenex.

Gents.

Sorry to disappoint you.

Equipment,

Canon 20 D
Sigma 300 2.8 lens.
Walking sticks.
Flask.
Copious amounts of patients!!!

Absolutely AWESOME photos. What do you use these patients for? I'm sure slavery is illegal.
