The highlight of the day at PIK was the 5 F-18 Hornets of The Death Rattlers and their KC-135 Tanker departing in decent light:

Shortly thereafter a US Marines Charlie 130 asked for runway 21 rather than 12 so a mad dash ensued to catch it:

The day started with a very heavy USAF C-17A Globemaster III:

And for me at least, finished with an RAF A-400M up from Brize for some cross wind low approaches:
