ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

RAMA 62 Thunders out of Mildenhall

Post by dinger »

It was a pity about the overcast conditions but the sight and sound of RAMA 62 thundering down runway 11 was worth the trip out. Here are a selection of shots from the departure.

Holding short.

A couple of minutes were spent on the line up throttling the engines up and down in dry power, No.2 engine can be seen at max dry in this shot.

Then 4 thundering afterburners were engaged as she rolled.

Nice report with attention for details. I wish we could see one nearby.
I saw one fly by when I was on holiday in Hawaii. What a sound!
