Standing on a Pink Jet?!

Post by James Cutting » Sun Aug 07, 2016 6:19 pm

Yes that's right...no need to go to Mach Loop to get literal top shot!! :clap: Last week, I was on a ATC Camp, and on the last day we visited 12 Squadron, and got to see the Pink Tornado :thumbs: I was even lucky enough to get to stand on top of it to get pics of the cadets in the jet :cool: One of my best days this year...enjoy!

Hi James

On top of the world, not quite but on top of a tornado is next best thing :clap:

Bet you felt on top of the world though ;)

Some nice and unique shots there, mate :thumb:

Glad you (and Luca) had a good week.

See you again soon :)

I was a cadet back in 92 at Leeming, for our summer camp. Got to do the same with a 25sqn F3 in the QRA shed. Our senior NCO even got to have a back seat flight for 2 hours. Awesome memories! (In 1990 we were at Wattisham crawling over 56sqn phantoms!!)
Great pics BTW
