RAAF C-17A Globemaster III buzzes Brisbane (27Sep2018)

This bad boy did a loop along the Brisbane River today, a dry run in preparation for Riverfire 2018 on Sat 29th Sept 2018.

This is a composite from several frames blended together in PS CC.

Cheers

Dennis

That's a great image Dennis. At first glimpse I thought there were 10 planes flying nose to tail before I re-read the thread.

Top stuff.

And tomorrow you have two EA-18G Growlers over Brisbane around 1pm.

A fabulous shot. I see these jets all the time around my area.

Thanks Peter, Hans and Greg, I appreciate your comments.

I was a little disappointed by PixInsight's lack of an "Align on Buildings" Process, so I had to use PS CC instead.

@Hans: in 2017 there was only 1 Growler for the Friday dry run, although it did perform two passes. In previous years, we have enjoyed the sight and sound of x2 Super Hornets on the Friday practice run.

Weather looks a bit iffy today so I may not make the trek into town for the Growler(s).

Here's the Globemaster making a slow turn under somewhat leaden skies.

Cheers

Dennis

It looks like Hans is on the money, x 2 Growlers indeed.

Two Royal Australian Air Force EA-18G Growlers turned up today and put on a stunning low-pass display. My chest was reverberating with their, um, growling as they growled their way past the Kangaroo Point Cliffs and flew along the Brisbane River.

Here are some F/A-18F Super Hornets from the 2016 practice session. The Growlers first made their appearance in the 2017 event.

Cheers

Dennis

And here is one of the Growlers from today when the Sun played nice.

I think that these airframes may have been sprayed with some anti-AF paint as I experienced a number of shots out of focus.

Cheers

Thanks Hans, we are not on Facebook but managed to watch the Facebook posted video, full screen on a 2560x1440 display - WOW!

Here are a couple of more from today.

It looks like #302 and #312 came out to play.

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks for the comments Brendan and Greg, I appreciate them.

Greg: Canon 5D Mk IV and Canon 100-400mm Mk II.

I would have loved to be on the balcony with these construction workers.

Cheers

Thanks Bob and Derek, I appreciate your comments.

Such a multi-dimensional experience; the visceral thrill of fast jets whizzing by, the intellectual appreciation of these engineering marvels and the lament that their very existence is part of our current standing as a so called "advanced civilisation".

Cheers

Dennis

Very sharp photos Dennis. The plane looks like it just hanging there in front of the balconies with the people watching. Frozen in time. Pretty cool.
