It’s like a lotto, where the tyre stops, it’s number is a winner for the person who picked it.

Great photos. How noisy are these birds compared with F15, Typhoon, Tornado and others we may have heard over the last 5 to 10 years?

There's a couple sporting those marks on the nose wheel, noticed at least two on my last couple trips there.

Thank you for your reply, I’ve never seen it before and dose make sense. The sun poked its head out for a few returns and highlights the tyre.

Nice shots Mark
Nick got one of the AV F-16s a few weeks ago with the front wheel made to look like a roulette wheel

I would have said Tyre creep marks, but I've never seen them applied like that..
