Everything is possible in an air-to-air photoshoot as long as you plan in advance!... this year's Portuguese Aerobatic Team for the international championships.
An unforgettable moment at the Real Thaw Exercise Spotters Day: a NATO AWACS performing a touch n'go with four Spangdahlem based A-10's breaking formation about 1000 feet above... this was the last ever exercise for 81st Fighter Squadron before the unit's disbandment.
Although we were flying a Robinson R44 helicopter, both pilots did a wonderful job matching the speed of our aircrafts, keeping them in formation for this air-to-air photoshoot!
Giving the spotters a fantastic topside view while departing the BA5 Open Base, inbound its homebase in Beja. It's not everyday that you get to see a camouflaged Alpha Jet flying, and with a full kit of weapons installed!!
One of the best moments of the 100th Anniversary Airshow of the Russian Air Force, the flyby of the mighty Antei... the contra-rotating propellers generate an amazing sound that can be heard miles away!
