I'm sure the Apache was using me as imaginary target practice.

I'd never thought I'd be able to photograph, the 100th Anniversary of the Polish Air Force 302nd FS F16C Raven, on a low level sortie, through the Mach Loop.
Spent all day on the hill in Baltic conditions, with Helen, Richard and Mark, managed to video an A400 go through Cad in the morning, had a few passes from Hawks and Texans.
Late afternoon a 4 ship of Polish F16s entered the low fly structure, I videoed the first pass, only the first aircraft was landlocked properly, but noticed the F-16 had a pattern on the top, so when I asked Richard, he said it was the Raven F-16.
I was then flapping around to get the camcorder mounted to my DSLR in case they came back around.
Thankfully they did, the light wasn't great though, so knowing that my trusty Canon 7d mkii couldn't handle a high shutter speed in poor light I had to photograph at 320sec.
So to capture these images is very special, hope you enjoy viewing them.

What a way to spend an inset day accompany dad to the Mach Loop with his sisters.
Not bad though, it's only taken me nearly 2 weeks to look at Lucas photos, been to busy working.
Best I look at Emilia photos next.
They both slowly putting me to shame.

Me and my budding young toggers, on the hills in the Mach Loop.
Cheers Paul, it wasn't easy trying to get them to stay stationary for the photos.
And well done for moving away from the dark side and switching to Canon to get these shots for me, 🤣😂

I regularly go up to the Mach Loop on my own, with the hope to create some videos for my YouTube Channel, should I get lucky enough to see any aircraft go through, but I love it, when it's the school holidays, as the children get the opportunity to venture on the hills with me, They don't just sit on the hills, they hope they see aircraft, so they can try and photograph whatever comes through, little did we know this particular day we were in for what was probably one of my best F15 days in the Mach Loop.

The link is below for you to check it out if you're interested in watching it.

to start them young, future toggers!

For me this has to be one of the BEST F15 days in the Mach Loop, more so as I got to experience it all with my children.For Me personally this Has to be one ...

Fair play to Emilia and Lucas, my 9 and 10 year old children, taking shots like this, on our recent trip to the hills in the Mach Loop, I think I need put my feet up and retire, on a plus side when they've go the cameras I'm able to video with my camcorder freehand, which was a massive help last Friday, as we had 20 F15 passes in about a space of 15/20 minutes.
I've just finished putting my new YouTube video together, which we'll be published on Saturday 31st at 14:00 (GMT), I think it's one of the best edits I've done, especially as I managed to have all 3 of my children included in the video.
I mustn't forget Ellaria, her video with my mobile phone wasn't to shabby either, which I've also included in the YouTube video.

Me and the children took a detour to the Mach Loop on our way to the campsite for RIAT, to see if we could catch anything going through before we headed there, we managed to see the RCAF CF-18 Hornet go though, we headed to RIAT not long after as the it was down to do it's validation at 16:04, we managed to get there with 30 minutes to spare, 16:08 'Tango' completed the validation in the spare CF-18 Hornet, we didn't get to see it twice in the same day, but it was still awesome to see.
Fair play though, that was a long day for me and the children.
Below is a few of the images from the validation.

It was such an awesome sight to see the Qatar Emiri Air Force’s F-15QA fighter jet at RIAT.

The German Typhoon doing it's own version of hiding from the crowds, a little bit further away than Moggy though.

Saturdays cloud base at RIAT didn't half help produces some fluff around the aircraft when they were doing their displays.
Below is one of Moggy trying to hide from us all.

It was cool to see the RAF F-35B Lightning performing at RIAT, it was certainly different than last years display.
