Re: A day at RAF Odiham with the Tuskers

Great photos from a truly awesome day . The planning and execution that had gone in to getting us in the right place for our photos was exceptional. As you say, a huge ‘thank you’ to all at RAF Odiham and COAP for making it happen. I enjoyed the demos from the Fire Department and the RAF Police Dogs...

Re: RAMSTEIN FLAG MOVEMENTS

For a 09 take off, am I correct in thinking the northern taxiway is closed and the F-16’s are using the southern taxiway. It just I saw a clip that looked like they were using the southern taxiway and I’m popping up this week. MTIA The F-16s and the KC135 used the southern taxiway today; and last T...

Re: Lumix FZ200 Bridge Camera

I used to have an FZ200. It was some years ago but as I remember for flying shots I mainly used the Sport mode which worked fine giving high shutter speeds. However the exposure did need some adjustment. In bright sunshine I need to set -1/3 or even -2/3. And in dull conditions +1/3 definitely help...

Re: Turkish 50th Anniversary - Low Level

All the photos I’ve seen, from all the photographers who attended (I wasn’t one of them) are amazing, but that last shot is incredible and illustrates why so many people have said “you had to be there to understand how good it was “. Simply brilliant!

Re: Canon RF 100-500mm f4.5-7.1

I’ve had the RF100-500 L lens for a year and a half now and I agree that it’s an excellent lens, producing pin-sharp images. Definitely recommend. I’ve noticed that for the last two years there have been big discounts on Canon lenses around the Christmas / New Year period, so if you can wait until t...

Excellent photos Mike, thanks for sharing them. Nice to see colourful schemes in the sunshine, unlike the grey paint under grey skies at Leeuwarden a couple of weeks ago.

Re: "John's Field Closed due to COVID 19"

Am I right in thinking that John's Field is still closed? I guess that the ground is very wet, even if we didn't have to consider Covid-19.

Thanks

Did you have any special access in South Korea and Taiwan, or are the airshows and locations available to anyone who is prepared to do a bit of research?
