Re: Yes More Low Level Phantoms!

That second to last shot is fantastic gives such a perspective of the speed and the aggressive graphics on the nose make it even better. Thanks for the effort to get these amazing photos.

Re: Nose Art Question?

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated. They look really good and some talented painting behind them. Always enjoy seeing what they come up. Hopefully I manage to capture some of the recent greek mythology art at the mach loop soon before they disappear.

Re: A-10 action at the range

What an opportunity and great pictures. I managed to see some A-10 Warthog for the first time last summer coming in the land at Nellis AFB whilst on holiday. Didn't get anything as close as these pics but something I won't forget. Thanks for sharing.

Nose Art Question?

Does anyone know the significance of the different nose art that some of the USAF jets seem to return with from deployment? See that recently the bolars returned with impressive greek mythology nose art on the F-15s. Is related to the missions they have been or location they were deployed to or just...

Yes, I believe so, shame I missed that day. Would like to see it low level in the loop and get some photos. Last time he just peeked around the corner at Dinas Mawddwy to get me excited then carried on going in the opposite direction :lol: Hopefully get another opportunity soon.

Re: My Top Mach Loop Moments of 2024- Featuring F15 & F35

Some great moments there :thumbs: . I was up on top shelf at Bwlch in May when the KC 135 came to LFA 7. I saw it approach from the north via Bala but sadly did not pass bwlch. Great to see and hopefully next time I may catch it close up.

V-22 Osprey Return to LFA7...

Noticed this last week that the V-22 Osprey has visited the Mach Loop again after a prolonged time. Have the restrictions on their use now been lifted and may we see them become a more regular visitor once again?
