Super post - I remember missing them. Got over it now though. BARG reported them as bringing a group of veterans to Europe, staging through Mildenhall 21/22 May en-route to Rhein Main, returning on the 26 May. I only recall seeing 6 C-123's - 2 of those based at Sembach in the 60's and 4 Otis based...

Cracking shot!

Another nice set, not losing anything for twilight arrivals.

Nice shots. Close up would have lost the "feel" of the smokey take off.

I recall access to the Bapteme de l'air flights being by lucky programme number in the main. Nice you got on one though, they've not got much longer to go.

I went to the museum on a "team building" visit (my team, my choice :-) in 2014. Although the outside exhibits were looking a bit rough, due mostly to the climate, the ones inside were immaculate. As the museum as adjacent to the very large Riyadh airbase, we were followed around by security discret...

Love the Arrows bomb burst!

What a really great series of posts. Thank you.

Lovely shots there.

Fantastic shots. Lovely colourscheme.

Nice shot there Mike,

Well impressed.

Nice shots.

Win some, lose some I suppose.

Wow!

Some nice shots there. Great few days to be in the area. I think your Russian is a Ka.31 rather than a 27 though.

Nice conbined set. I really enjoyed that show. Well done! :-)

Lovely bit of nostalgia!

Thanks for posting.

Great shots, with fantastic light. Looks like they've toned down all of the unit markings recently.

Great set. Nice variety of visitors too.

Fantastic shots. I love the special schemes. Someone clearly though about these (and the men in accounts clearly signed off the cheque to get them done), shame we can't seem to have access to the same chequebook.

What price a Tornado in something similar before they are consigned to history.

Interesting capture. Are the ones at Luke likely to be delivered soon, or will they remain for crew training for a while? I will be at Luke in March 2019, and it would be nice to get some Aussies!
