LFA 7 - Wales - Low-Level - 27th, 28th & 29th Feb 08
A real buzz to be a spectator! Three days of Typhoons down the Talyllyn Pass! Thanks for the waves! All images taken from the west side of the pass entrance.
Cheers

Thanks for the comments!
High Lander,
Airliner.net recently mucked around with their terms and conditions. I've got two on there at present from last year, but not been back.
Magnersdrinker,
The photo locations in the Loop are very well known to the crews. Both sides of that pass will have snappers out on them Monday to Friday.
Bubblewindow,
Yes this is me! A real shame about the Ruskies and especially from your vantage point of the bubblewindow! No doubt see you around in April. Take care.

TheKittyHolder,
The image of the C-130J, ZH888, was taken on the 28th Feb. It came through with another J at 13:20.
GPMG,
Morley Lester 'BeanieMan' also caught that J from Cad East. Amazing bank! They would look great blown up on the crew room walls at Lyneham! Link to Morley's images.

The light was great back in mid-Feb and I tried something a little different for C-130 shots. I used a 2x teleconverter on my 300mm for some of the shots. Link to my C-130K/J images.

For a multi map scroll down to
'Machynlleth Loop - Tal-y-Llyn pass west side (Cad West)'
Note the details in regards to the sun in the morning at this location. Most people do Corris Corner, at the bottom of the pass, up until 12pm or climb Cad East.

Great pictures - thanks for the memories, folks. Here's one of the shots I used to take.
