2014: Review

[Macc]

Not the most thorough year, with AIR14 definitely being the highlight. It started off at Cosford after a morning flight with next to no sleep, not the nicest weather worked in my favour and led to this photograph which I'm pretty sure is a double exposure - the second pointing towards the sky.

Next up was Joint Warrior 14-1; with the first two days heralding plenty of movements I managed to capture most of what I was after in the two days I was around for. Sadly the light disappeared before the P-8 departed for its evening mission.

A quick trip to RAF Lossiemouth before my train having worked on a job at home in Elgin the previous evening, this was to capture 6(F)sqn arrival.

Then it was the RIAT from the Friday afternoon. Also a big thanks to the forum member I bought tickets from before the event on the Sunday when it had sold out. The Corsairs, Fitters and Italian test demos made it a very enjoyable Air Tattoo despite the F-35 cancellation.

Having moved to Copenhagen in August, I managed to find cheap flights to Geneva. This allowed me to join a trip to AIR14 and it was my aviation highlight of the year.

Not sure what next year will bring but this one was better than expected.
