April 27, 20214 yr Hi all, In the past few years I have honoured to witness some excellent lowfly from the guys and gals of the USAF, and in turn they have recommend that I share some of the snaps with you here. Keep up the great work, and if you are ever in the position of planning a lowfly sortie in the UK and would like some high quality photos then drop me a DM and hopefully we can sort something out. Discretion assured, many thanks for looking, enjoy the photos.

April 29, 20214 yr Too bad they don't fly 135's or B-52's through mach loop. It’s not for lack of trying; maybe the BUFFs need a new plan of attack (other than R), but USAFE was not game for it the last few times they were in the UK.

May 23, 20214 yr Anyone know why the boom would be down? Figured it would be up for a performance, but I’m not a tanker guy. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Curious (more like jealous) about your decision to retire there. I know there is a retired Navy F-4 Mig killer that retired to St. Andrews and owns a B&B.
