Blue Flag 2019 Ovda

Post by hansdij » Thu Nov 21, 2019 10:08 pm

I couldn't make it to Waddington last September.
Fortunately exercise Blue Flag at Ovda Israel last week brought me some compensation.

As in 2017 we had access to the runway in the afternoon, with the sun pretty much in front of us, making light conditions challenging at take offs.
Nevertheless, it worked out well.

That's, a very nice set Hans, I particularly like the backdrop shown in 3 and 5. Shame about the F-35... :whistle:

Lovely set those f-16s have certainly gained a few lumps and bumps over the years.

Very nice.

Think a crop shot of 715 was used on the BBC website a couple of days ago.....

Having said that, it looks like the BBC "Reuters" photo was taken a few seconds later.....
