Have you thought about approaching the folks over at RAF Valley and see if they would be interested in buying your photo's, I would guess that the two guys in the plane would be interested in a copy of that one.

Awesome picture! I love the area around Cadar Idris - there's some proper good camping spots near there too.

i`ve been contacted by a couple of hawk pilots for shots and i`ve sent them pictures.they give me a heads up about there training programme and when they are doing low level work so you have a bit of warning but you know what mountain weathers like.the american f15 eagle pilots always request photos and i`ve supplied them aswell.it can be very addictive though as the fast jet passes are incredible with ring side seats!

Stunning...It's incredible to stand and look down on an aircraft in anger...as a youngster in the lake district I remember looking down on 3 jaguars on low level exercise...never witnessed anything quite like it since...
again...stunning

Amazing - how loud are they when they go past? Do you wear ear defenders?

 

[robmac]

hawks are not that bad but tornado`s and f15 eagles are VERY loud.

That GR4 scared the bejeezus out of me while I was having an idyllic moment paddling across Lyn Tegid. I'm sure every living thing for miles jumped!

Do you use that Bushhawk shoulder stock that's in your flckr pics for the jet shots or hand hold the camera?
