Military Aircraft: airshows, operational, whatever, lets see what you have!

[HarryFilm]

And for those of you in the know,
HOW ABOUT a photo of

"The Green Lady"

"SR-75" which kinda looks like the XB-70

and the still active ECM (Electronic Countermeasures)
companion to the old retired F117

and the Long Pointy-nosed thingy that kinda
looks like a squished flat X-15 rocketplane

I had a quick search on the forum and could not find a topic on this so, here goes. My main photographic passion is military aircraft. Although I do often take shots at airshows or bases, the thing I enjoy most is photographing them in the low level training areas, mainly in the UK. To show you what I mean, these are from my last trip a couple of weeks ago, bit of a slow day  All taken with a Canon 7D+ 300/2.8L+1.4x TC

USAF MC-130 Talon II

Great pair of photos!
Totally Amazing

I have many, many more shots but I'd love to see what stuff you guys (and girls) have on this subject!!!

Excellent panning. Very nice picture. Well done, Roo.

Hi Roo.
Ok, confession time, I thought it was a ‘jug’ (P-47). Quite a similar outline!

Cheers, Graham.

Similar to the Razorback variant but much closer in profile, and size, to the P-43 Lancer that preceded the jug.

I was actually having a pretty good day with the panning shots thanks click!

I've never done the A5 pass before (this is at the top end of LFA7 in mid Wales and overlooks Lake Ogwen) so with the promise of traffic using it to get to the RAF Valley Families day I thought I'd give it a go. In the end the Reds, BBMF Spitfire, Typhoon and GR4 all avoid it, leaving just the Strikemaster (a first for me) and Omen-1 (a C130J) to provide the photo ops

Hi Simon.
A great series of shots, sorry to hear that so much of the traffic avoided you, but at least you got a first!

Cheers, Graham.

Great images Simon and Keith. Super impressed at the clarity of the crop of the Hercules cockpit on such a low shutter speed shot - exceptional panning.

 

[zim]

Wow, that's definitely a cool shot.
Shouldn't those guys be looking where they are going though! ;D
