These guys stopped over here for a night stop.

Weather was horrible for the typhoons but their take off was something out of this world. Impressive considering it was fully loaded with fuel (+ 3 external tanks). Haven't even seen such an impressive take-off at airshows.

Nice series, & I especially like #4. Looks like they had some fun, too, and #6 would be a "impressive take-off" anywhere! ; )

Thanks for the comments!

They did indeed have fun on takeoff! Either that, or they didn't like their breakfast very much

Very nice. Well done.

Nice shots! I passed the link of this set to the pilot of Typhoon ZK089 (321) and he was very pleased to see them

nice images

I have to admit the Saudi Tonka's look stunning in their Desert colours, much better compared to the RAF Grey Tonka's
