F-15C and D recoveries from an awesome viewing location – RAF Lakenheath Base Tour – 29th April 2016

Firstly apologies for the wind noise, even my fluffy couldn’t handing the wind from the day! 💨

The Reaper pilots did seem to be really using aerodynamic breaking on this day. I’m pretty sure the first guy dropped his nose at the exact point he got alongside us, complete with a fist pump 🤙👊😎

I’ve decided to do the same and split the morning recoveries into the three different aircraft types we saw flying on the day. These are the F-15Cs and Ds from the 493rd Fighter Squadron, The Grim Reapers.

Wittmund 2012 playlist

I don’t normally post playlists but it seemed like the right thing to do with these F-4s from Wittmund in 2012.

I’ve only just got round to editing these movies, and uploading them to YouTube, so here they are. They are all shot with my old Sony HDR-SR11 which is no match for my latest camera, but it does a pretty decent job. The main issue with the old SR-11 is that it only shot interlaced footage, and the difference is really obvious. I only wish I had my new camera back then!

I hope you enjoy these old smokey birds!

You can navigate the videos in the playlist using the button at the top left of the player.

Two B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers arrive at RAF Fairford

Two B-2 Spirit Stealth Bombers arrive at RAF Fairford under the call signs DEATH11 & DEATH12.

The 1st aircraft ‘Spirit Of Indiana’ DEATH11 performed two low approaches before landing on runway 27. ‘Spirit of Louisiana’, DEATH12 was straight into land.

Apologies for the wind noise, I had a few issues with my windshield today, which are now fixed.
