Low-level, July, Wales
I made a visit to the low-fly routes in Wales last week. My main interest was to catch the A-10s. Thanks guys/girls for the great show through the Bwlch.

Thanks. Yes all my own. They were taken with a fairly cheap digital. I'm just about to upgrade to a professional camera.
It is a great way to see aircraft close-up and photograph them. At this location you never know what will come around the corner.

The A-10 of the 81st FS had tipped off enthusiasts of the days that they would come through. The pilots were after images of their time spent in the UK.

The quality of these lowfly images is excellent, you guys must be very patient to stay on those hillsides as long as you do, with very little action some times, unless you count the sheep
We are getting a bit fed up with Hawks, can someone Photoshop a B2 or something?

Thanks guys! Long hours yes, but well worth the wait. Ipod, folding chair and plenty of grub and the hours soon pass.
Some from yesterday. The Indian Hawks were out to play and the A-10s came back through.
Amazing what you see on a Welsh mountain. From yesterday.

Awesome pics! Thank you!
Can anyone tell me what the A-10 is carrying on the port outboard pylon? The others seem to be a pair of 'winders on a dual carrier, and a maverick each on the inboard pylons....

Thanks, Mr. Mauser, but can we wait till the Oval test, please? That way either it will be 1-1 and you wont want to kill me, or it will be 1-0/2-0 and I can die a happy man!
