Canon EF 400mm f2.8 L IS Mk II, Canon EF 300mm f2.8 L with and without a x1.4 extender Mk III and a Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L IS). |
Monday September 21, 2020 Hoping for more low Aviano F-16s, but in the end rewarded with a pair of Phenom and a very nice F-15E Strike Eagle.

Wednesday September 16, 2020 A day in the Lakes, the first for a long time did produce my hoped for Aviano F-16 images and a 100 Squadron Hawk.

Friday July 24, 2020 A rare visit to Wales, the first since the lockdown. F-15C Eagles tried to drop in but low cloud made that impossible. Three Texan T.1s were the only passes through the Loop.

Wednesday January 8, 2020 A dull day in the Lakes, rewarded with just one Typhoon near the end of the day. It pulled out of the valley on its first pass before returning minutes later.
