We (Ruud and myself) had a great couple of days in the Machynlleth Loop so far. It started off with a rainy monday (only 2 fotos could be made
) but now the weather is improving. Tuesday started improving but still some rain showers. But we had a magnificent sight of a Tornado with a ''flame out''. Wednesday, great weather, lots of sunshine, but very very cold... I got my first F-15's in the loop!!! Yeeeeeessssss after 4 years of loop visits!!!
Anyway some pics so far:
1. Tornado ''flame out", I only saw this happen once before at RAF Bruggen, and now it happened in front of us in the Mach Loop!!! What a sight!
2. A lot of Tonka's are out and about this few days.
3. In the morning some nice vapour can be seen.
4. This morning Valley was closed until noon.... then the Hawks came out!
5. A C-130K. These are very rare these days, A 4 bladed herc with refuelling probe.
6. THEN it was my little moment. Someone just said to me after a quiet hour: ''It ain't over till the fat lady sings''. Then... she started singing... and what a sound this was!!!!! My little moment in the loop, finally got my first F-15's!!! (F-15E Strike Eagle).
7. In total we had 10 Eagle passes!!! What a day!!
8. I guess after this last pass, ''the fat lady has sung''
More foto from this week can be found at my Mach Loop Gallery
Hope you enjoy.
