    Leuchars

    Good day out at what was probably the last-ever Leuchars airshow.. Good turn-out, although there were some unscheduled absentees, such as the Vulcan and SAAB Tunnan

    Here are some of the 'statics' -

    A gaggle of Eurofighters and F-16's from a variety of countries, such as Norway



    Austria



    Denmark



    Italy -'PLEASE don't push that one, signore....'



    and some other country with, as ever, their own line in 'distinctive' tail decor....



    a nice French naval Rafale. Check out that very chunky undercarriage - those matelots must drop 'em on to the carriers from a great height !



    The Dutch obviously heard about the price of gas in Britain so they brought their own...



    Here's the RAF's executive ginpalace - note the sunken bath filled with asses' milk where the air marshals disport themselves with selected WAAFs..



    and the much-loved and well-travelled Cat

    And some action - Leuchars is not a photo-friendly place - you are a long way from the runway, and looking straight into the sun..

    Here is the Austrian Typhoon burning a bit of gas - they put on a great display, intercepting their own Hercules. Good flying.



    an unusual formation -



    an even odder one -



    a rare sight in this neck of the woods -



    and from the same country, something for twin-boom fans



    Tucano heading for the desert, by the looks of it



    an echo of the past



    and its successors- our familiar friends -



    having fun



    and yes, we do get blue skies in Scotland just occasionally !

    Great shots! That PBY seems to be all over Europe. It paid a visit at the Hahnweide Fly In last weekend.

    Cheers,
