Didn't think I'd see my shot used like this! :-)

Here's the latest on U-2 divestment. It's postponed again - for good reason.

EA-37B Compass Call 19-5991/DM & 19-1587/DM of the 43rd ECS/55 ECG arriving at RAF Fairford (EGVA) yesterday after flying from their home base at Davis Monthan via Bangor. They departed today, heading Southeast. Surprisingly they tracked all the way. @MeNMyRC1
Embraer’s KC-390 Millennium PT-ZNG low level in Wales, despite the only cloud of the week, the aircraft flew perfectly through to catch some sun.

The 47th Fighter Squadron recently ended operations with the A-10 at Davis Monthan. These shots were taken when they were in Utah on an exercise but based at Barksdale AFB. #lowlevel #a-10 #AFRC #airforcereserve #warthog #lowlevelflying
Two 307 Bomb Wing AFRC B-52Hs arrived at RAF Fairford last week for Cobra Warrior 25-2. This example, 61-0014 coded OT is marked for the 49th Test & Evaluation Squadron flew on Day 2 of the exercise. The other 61-0029, is marked '93 BS'. @AFGlobalStrike #buff
80-1094 is seen here carrying a repurposed pod (port wing). From 2001 to early this decade it was originally used for the Raytheon Remote Airborne Sensor, or RAS-1R, which is a radio freq signals intelligence sensor. It's not known what it now carries. @9thRW #Dragonlady
Some late morning departures last week allowed for some evening return images. I had wanted to get the Pogo guys like this for a long time, with U-2 80-1094 going long to the end of the runway it was possible. @9thRW #Dragonlady
Having swapped to mirror less I've been trying to video at the same time. More practice needed.

First time up Salisbury Plain Training Area for a couple of years. I couldn't decide where to go ,even when leaving home. So very lucky for me this arrived for 10 minutes and caught some sun down the nose. #CH53 #Luftwaffe @Team_Luftwaffe @RAF_Odiham #SPTA
Learning from my last encounter with a Low Level F-4 I switched to the 100-400mm. Glad I did! I don't think I will get a better shot.

Usually it is the det at Akrotiri being creative. Photographed today at RAF Fairford, Bullet Bill has made an appearance on 80-1096 and artwork taken from the 99 ERS Friday patch on 80-1094.
Eventually caught #100ARW #KC-135 in the low fly last week, first time as a pair I believe. Quid 52 climbed out early but made for a great photo. Quid 53 was much lower. #lfa17 @RAFMildenhall #BloodyHundredth #SquareDAway #100AirRefuelingWing @usairforce @tcamp202
Today, U-2S 7074 departed back to the States. Despite a bit of exhaust gas blowing over the fuselage it was possible to get the artwork on the port side. @UKdragonChris @9thRW
The crews at Akrotiri did it again! U-2S 80-1074 arrived at RAF Fairford on Wed 13th March and wore these marks on the starboard side. A couple of close-up crops to view the artwork better. @UKdragonChris @9thRW
A day and a half at Pingtung-North produced three Lockheed P-3C Orion with the ROCAF, two in low viz markings (3303 & 3305 ) and one in higher viz (3302). Happy with the results as this was one of the main goals for going back to Taiwan. @P3OrionResearch #Orion
A favourite of mine to photograph in Japan is the T-4, this one from 8 Hikotai flew a late afternoon mission from Tsuiki with a dust collection pod used to detect radioactive particles. You can read more about the pod in the link below, the article is by @TheAviationist
