Mr Fish:

Did you honestly say that "you can't wait to see a growler in the flesh"?

This picture made me chuckle...Are the aliens from Dreamland on approach behind this B-707? Or are they beaming up the pies from the Galley??

I really hate you guys that have posted these photographs. I have recently gotten into photography and I "kind of like" aircraft. These are amongst the best I've seen of the type (Take-off/Landing/Circuit(Pattern for US readers)/Taxy). They are all so sharp and the light appears to be almost perfect, well it is Nevada. Really impressed, and thanks for sharing. It's not often that you get a chance to photograph these from such a great vantage point, even if you are in "the company". I saw the RAF E-3 but did not see any other RAF aircraft. Were there any there? Normally we send at least a C130 or two, along with some others. If you have any RAF aircraft I would love to see them.

Thanks for the comments Mac (I think )

The E-3 was the only RAF aircraft to participate this period - I think they are saving themselves for Alaskan Flag in April, where both myself and Karl are traveling to.

The RAF did bring Tonkas to the Feb Flag last year - check them out here if interested

Skippyscage,
Yes it was intended as a complement to you guys. Thanks for the link, again some cracking photos. I especiallly liked your shot of XV214 - C130K CMk3. Had a lot to do with how that ac now looks.

Yep, caught your meaning
