I was planning to fly VFR from RAF Marham to RAF Valley via the south coast, I went and saw so many hawks I had to take the pictures!! Oh, and there are some other planes as well for variety.

A little formation

Something else at Marham

Stumbled on this one over London, it's brilliant!!!!
Image

Image

Image

Sorry, could not resist it :)

Image

No this is NOT a very short take-off run.
Image

Obviously there was a lot to see at Valley...

Image

Image

...and by extension Warton

Typhoons in non-standard uniform

Finally, a picture of the plane I was flying

Thanks for looking
Take this as a tribute to your excellent model Nick!!

Au Contraire,

Great shots...

What ground textures are those?

Thank-you,
and they are (surprisingly) the default ones-I just waited for everything to load up properly! It makes a huge difference to the screenshots!

Great shots, I don't fly across the pond much, but those will make anyone try. What is the issue with the Tornado and PC-9 canopies, alpha channel?

I think so, probably because I'm using FSX, sometimes the canopies don't show up at all (in the case of the F-15) but I'm happy with what I get

Wow, Valley looks like the base to be if you want to see some exotic kit!
