wheezi Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Lucky to catch 'Pinky' in the Mach Loop on one of her last low level sorties before being RTP'd at Leeming. She was bombed up for a photo session which we could hear the details of on the scanner. Went to the loop especially on the off chance of getting pics of ZG750 and I wasn't disappointed. Was a great pass, especially when she overtook the Airbus A400M (pics later) over Lake Bala. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard E Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Good shots - presumably caught on her way to RIAT at Fairford earlier this month? Is the payload three Enhanced Paveway II attached to 1,000 pound inert bodies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
