Hey All 👋.
Firstly, thanks for the add 👍
I'm Dave, based in South Manchester so reduced to civil spotting to pass the time but 1st love is 100% military, closely followed by balloons.
Hope to post base logs as and when I get chance to get out but that's once in a blue moon and about as often as we see military in Manchester 🤣🤣

Hi All
I'm Ricky, based in the Lake District, LFA17.
I spend a fair amount of time on the fells waiting for and watching military aircraft at low level so I'm really looking forward to getting involved with the FC community.

Hi There Andre Faehndrich here. Been an aviation enthusiast for as long as I can remember, having started ny spotting career in Dublin, Ireland, I now travel the world as much as I can, seeing all those exotic foreign aircraft. You'll also see me regularly at the likes of Luton, Heathrow, Stansted, Gatwick, Mildenhall, Lakenheath, etc, and also around ALicante, where we have a holiday home, so I try and incoporate at least 1x TLP a year at Albacete.

I am also a STEM ambassador and I have a non-flying RANS S6 Coyote II which I bring with a mate of mine, who has a 1/3 size Hurricane, to various Schools and STEM events and also the monthly shows at Old Warden. I also run an annual Young Aviators event at Sywell (to educate, inspire & encourgae adults and youngsters alike to consider a career in aviation - oh and to have fun too of course!!). We've just run the 16th annual one, where we flew a total of 150x (28x adults and 122x youngsters) on 19x aircraft with 22x pilots on a total of 123x flights.

Hi everyone,

Have been interested in aviation (in particular Military aircraft) since I was a boy. Based in NE Scotland so my interest is mainly around RAF Lossiemouth. Quite a while back I had the opportunity to visit airside and had a very exciting day. Looking forward to my next visit for Exercise JW-22

Hey all! I'm Nate. I live in the Mildenhall area and have done for the past 23+ years. I spent 21.5 years in the U.S. Air Force and retired in 2006 so I have been around many many different types of aircraft. I worked with the 493FS quite a bit and deployed with them several times. I took a ride in an F-15D at the end of my retirement and I will say it was one of the most awesome things I have ever done. Happy to be a member!

Cheers,
Natearnold66
