Friday pictures resuscitated
It has been quite some time since I last filed an entry in the Friday pictures series, and for all of my many loyal readers, I wanted to apologize for the unanounnced hiatus. Holidays and life clobbered the habit, and I will try to climb back in the saddle and resume what has been, I realize, a popular feature here at QES.
While I understand today is not Friday, I figured I would include a quick bonus picture here as a taste for the items to come.
The following image comes from Flickr user Moving Pictures Photography, and is taken of a Royal Air Force Panavia Tornado GR4 rolling inverted as it flies low through Cad West over Wales. There are several Flickr photographers who haunt this training area for the RAF, and collectively their pictures document the skill and power dejmonstrated by the RAF as they refine their low-level flying skills. Many of the shots seem as if they could only be taken air-to-air, but are in fact simply shot down from the valley ridges at the planes below. Most impressive – I would love to see this in person, and hear it, too, of course.
If you like this, I encourage you to check out this summary of all of the aviation photography I have featured here.
