Here's my offering taken at Albacete, Los Llanos on 16.01.2015. French Air Force Rafale B, 333 113-IH complete with 10 mission markings on final approach prior to the start of TLP. Still quite stunned by the events of yesterday especially having been there watching the initial arrivals 11 days ago.
