Mather Air Force Base was closed due to the Pentagon base closures but the airfield is still used by Beale AFB for training touch-and-go with T-38’s. I know when they will be passing by so I can have a camera ready to catch them because they are passing low and slow. For those who don’t know, the student is in the front seat and the instructor is behind. I usually wait for a couple of passes so I can be sure I got some good shots so the pilots are expecting to see me as much as I’m expecting to see them. I missed BOTH the golden opportunities to photograph the student waving (probably hella un-training-like!) at me but I’ll get them sooner or later – will, unless one of these trainers comes in armed and shoots my butt for shooting THEM! LOL!

Egyptair Airbus A330-243 (SU-GCE) on approach to London Heathrow (LHR) runway 27L. Some nice vantage points when approaching this runway from the East after flying over London. Not a classic by any means, but I think the low cloud background makes the plane stand out.

The Red Arrows taking off from Blackpool Airport The Red Arrows, officially known as the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, is the aerobatics display team of the Royal Air Force, based at RAF Scampton, Lincolnshire, UK (soon to be RAF Waddington). They were formed in late 1964 as an all-RAF team, replacing a number of unofficial teams that had been sponsored by RAF commands.

The Red Arrows do not use front-line aircraft because of operating costs. The team uses the RAF’s advanced jet trainer, the BAE Hawk T1A. While the Hawk is very basic compared to the much more modern Eurofighter Typhoon, it is still fast enough and very manoeuvrable, ideal for low-altitude aerobatics. The plane also does not have a sat nav or radar or onboard computer. The Red Arrows normally cruise at 360 knots (one nautical mile every 10 seconds). Statistics Wing span: 9.39 m Length: 11.85 m Height: 4.0 m Maximum speed sea level: 800 mph (1,037 km/h) Maximum altitude: 48,000 ft (15,900 m) Empty weight: 8,000 lb (3,630 kg) Maximum weight: 18,390 lb (8,330 kg) Powerplant: one Rolls-Royce Adour Mk 151 Thrust: 5,200 lbf (23 kN)

The Saab J37 Viggen (English: Thunderbolt) was a Swedish single-seat, single-engine, short-medium range fighter aircraft and attack aircraft, manufactured between 1970 and 1990. Several variants were produced to perform the roles of all-weather fighter-interceptor, ground attack, and photo-reconnaissance, as well as a two-seat trainer. / Powered by a Pratt & Witney JT8D engine (same as the Boeing 737-200) but with added afterburner. / Maximum speed: Mach 2.1, (1,386 mph at 36,100 ft) / Armament: 1×30 mm Oerlikon KCA cannon with 150 rounds / Six missile stations for two RB71 Skyflash, four AIM-120 AMRAAM, or six AIM-9 Sidewinder or four 135 mm (5.4 in) rocket pods. Anti ship rockets RBO4E or RSB15 or AGM-65A. 500kg bomb or 120kg Virgo fragmentary bomb, U95 ECM pod. / The centerline pylon was the only wet pylon and was usually occupied by an external fuel tank. / In peacetime the outer pods were unused to save wing fatique. / This one found at the Hermeskeil Air Museum, near Frankfurt Haarn, Germany. The museum is also known as Flugausstellung Leo Junior. This air museum near Hermeskeil im Hunsrück is the largest private aviation museum in Europe. It was founded by Leo Junior in 1973 and has now amassed 100+ aeroplanes and helicopters (with many still airworthy!) as well as over 60 aircraft engines. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
