Re: FRIAT Mach 3 Park and View Options
Those areas are known as "park and view". Just follow the yellow "Park and View" road signs to get to them. You definitely need to be early to grab a good spot in the eastern park and view! thanks nick, I remember the approaches to the base being quite convoluted with road closures funneling traffi...

I was disapp...

A Lucky First Trip to the Lakes LFA
A great day for me, a first capture of LF F-35s and A400, plus a pair of F-15s and Omani Hawks. The F-35s gave me a private airshow it seemed passing low overhead, I was still shaking 15 mins later https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52087534244_05a87e940e_h.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5...
