Hello all,
Thanks for letting me join the forum, I am interested in aviation photography and have been following this forum as a guest user for a while, especially when planning visits to Lakenheath and Coningsby.

Hi, New to this group.
Based in Edmonton in Canada, so get a fair few mil both from over the Pond to the West Coast of the US, but also from Alaska, heading to the East Coast. Been a number of B-52s recently doing a round robin of the US, ending up just north of Edmonton before turning south again

Also get a few Canadian movements, but nothing too interesting, except for the occasional CF-188 out of Cold Lake. During Maple Flag, things do tend to pick up a little here. And right now there is Maple Resolve going on at CFB Wainwright, where three USA UH-60s are taking part, and they generally pop into the hospitals around Edmonton on Medevac training flights. In fact just had one a few minutes ago

Good evening have just joined FC, it definitely looks like the site I can peruse to my hearts content. Being a little long in the tooth i look forward to viewing the pages of rather older shows and aircraft as the first airshow that I went to was in September 1950 at Feltwell in Norfolk where my father treated me to a 5/-(25p) trip in a dragon rapide

A bit of a lurker here for some time, the G7 activity plus Typhoons crossing London, where I'm based, the other week, prompted me to register so as to enjoy the forum properly.

New member, was told about the platform yesterday. Been in/ out of aviation for over 36 years and now slowly getting back into watching/photographing any aircraft that takes my fancy.

Based in Ayrshire, Scotland.
