Supreme mate. Absolutely stunning. Love the video of the Eagles taking off in the dark. Reheat looks so impressive in the dark.
Stunning. Please keep the pictures coming. I live within 1/2mi of RAF Finningley ( well was ! ) now Robin Hood Airport. We get the occasional interesting movement but nothing quite like that Used to be based at RAF Honnington in between the two and regularly saw A10s practising , f15 and the huge B52s.
