Waiting F-15s were laying down a heat haze over the first to emerge...
Wow, my lucky day!
Pretty (awesome) planes all in a row!
Then there were two!
Make that three! A mere c £300,000,000 worth of ultimate high technology on show (not counting the F-15)
Eventually, there were four waiting to take off and in a cacophony of noise, they were off...
Clearly needing more runway to get airborne than the F-15s
And then off!
I was using 700mm of lens and that was to be my undoing during the close approaches but at least I could get some half decent record shots banking, wing tips laying down a vapour trail. The circular vortices can just about be seen here :-)
A bit closer...
And moments later they were gone!
Eventually, two reappeared with two Eagles (and not a white tailed in sight!)...
Landing or not, this was where the action got too close!
Tucking away the landing gear....
For an overshoot or two!
Finally they came down for a (full frame) landing!
Shame about the light and white sky but I learnt a lot today. First time here - lots of wrong lens/wrong place going on! But it was never planned and what a fantastic experience! The shorter zoom lens will have to be packed for future visits to Norfolk!! 100-400mm would have been ideal at times today...
Now then, 100's of F-15 images waiting to be looked at??!!
