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

A long day with a few movements at Pingtung-North but we knew it was about the quality of aircraft there. We saw this E-2K depart in the morning so positioned ourselves for its return. A ROCAF Northrop Grumman E-2K 2502 but still has E-2C 151710 under the tail. #Hawkeye #ROCAF

T-4 | 76-5753 | 8 Hikotai | Tsuiki Air Base | December 2024 Dust collection pod for radioactive particles

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.com

Of note, the local photographers refer to the F-16V as the F-16A.

At Hualien we got lucky with two F-16V's carrying the AN/VDS-5 LOROP-EO pod, otherwise known as the Phoenix Eye. Any F-16V can carry them, they are then unofficially known as a RF-16V. Also, two F-16V's returned from a CAP sortie with live AIM-9 and AIM-120s. #ROCAF @F-16.net

Just back from Japan & Taiwan. Main goal for the Taiwan trip was the last remaining RF-5E of the 12th TRS at Hualien under the 5th TFW. Two taxied out with a F-5F but the mission got scrubbed because of the weather. Luckily, they had to taxi underneath us on the way back. #ROCAF

Awesome stuff these last couple of months coming from the south eastern corner of Europe. It's a shame they can't quite get along, but how cool would a joint Greek, Turkish Phancon be?!

I forgot all about that air to air shot we had whilst banking. Always the best time to get the reflections and best light. Have you got a date for that? Thanks

Swapping the sun of Cyprus & sorties of Operation Beech for the gloom of the UK, except this day! Two @AusAirForce 37 squadron C-130Js are deployed to RAF Brize Norton and have been flying currency flights. 468 appears to have a SATCOM mod, 465 doesn't @C130net @TheAviationist

The highlight of Greece in Sept for me. I couldn't enjoy at the time, I had food poisoning, looking back on the images I'm glad I struggled through. #338Μ #117ΠΜ #338Sqn #Ares #Andravida #HAF #hellenicairforce #F4 #Phantom #phantomphriday #greekphantoms #lowlevel #ramsteinflag24
