Hi Guys, the RAAF are having war games in Darwin, hence i spent about 5 hours at the end of the runway and watched in awe as they came in and went out, very nice afternoon.
Here are a couple of action shots, and I just missed the Moon, "buy that much"
Lovely shots Leon,I love the F 15 Eagle,only Israel and U.S have these fighter jets,I like the one with landing gear down,and seeing the missiles,think they are sidewinders.
More than just RAAF there. F-15 Eagles (USAF) and SU-27s as well. And those Hercules ain't RAAF. I can't see the roundels that clearly, but I'm guessing Indonesian for the SU-27s and Hercs? (Australia recently gave 4 "retired" C-130 Hercules to Indonesia, but I don't know if they're in service yet).
Edit: Someone already picked the F-15s. That'll teach me to spend too long googling roundels!
Thanks guys yep they are loud alright, great to watch, i reckon those guys must get out of their machines with a pretty big grin on their face.
Paul I used a Canon 70-200mm F2.8L Lens, set at 200mm @ F/11 and ISO at 400, the buggers were pretty low at times, and one could feel the wind as they passed over.
What speed setting Leon? The C-130 looks wonderful heading towards the camera.All very nice.Where exactly is this location?I think you mentioned a caravan park near a runway(military?) in the N.T last year.
