Thanks for looking.

Cracking set, well done. I honestly thought they were going to divert today. That cross wind was terrible.
Dave.

Great shots blew me off my step ladder on the trailer once

Wish I could of raced over to get the C-5 do its 180 on the underrun for the back track.Been a wee while since I shot one on the R10 underrun.Looked nice as well.

That C-5 was still going pretty quick when it was approaching the overrun.Always nice to get a first visit of a type as well with the Aussie KC-30A

Nice set Paul. Looks like the cross wind made for some interesting landings.

Cracking set, as always, Paul

The C5 droned over us in Long Stratton on the way in, and boy was he going slow

Thanks for posting

Crackers those bud

Nice set Paul especially #3,9 and 12

Cheers chaps,thanks for the comments.

It was also interesting seeing the Galaxy creeping back down the runway but why did it go such a long way round? Poor Aussies were held back almost half an hour from their first overflight.

very nice mate
