CANicoll Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Captured this image of an F-15 at the Mach Loop and thought I would share. I did a "Photographers Day" at Duxford with Darren several years ago and it was a blast. Just being out on the flight line (standing in the grass!) and getting bounced by a couple of Spitfires was worth it. And is it my eyes or is the camo actually three colors? Two shades of gray (see the right elevator), and the blue/gray? The blue/gray also looks to be splotchy in spots. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinnfb Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 Beautiful pictures, F-15 is an absolute classic in terms of beautiful lines and shape. But I have to admit that ugly duck on the second picture is growing on me as we speak. thanks for sharing Chris 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CANicoll Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 And I mixed up the photographers. I did the Photo Day with Darren Harbar, who is frequently in the magazine FlyPast, and these pictures are from Daren Edwards. My bad! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 And here is the flip side of a different F-15, but very cool to see all the hard points and the weathering closer to the engines. I've not seen that before. If you are building certain aircraft, this guy is a bonanza of reference photos! On YouTube. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Chris Holy Smokes ... One lucky guy and the scenery' is spectacular. I'm i agreement that the left elevator seems to be a bit darker in tone but since it doesn't have the cammo, it appears to have been a replacement from another Eagle. I'm a F-35 guy and just love the Lightning. Thanks for posting 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted December 13, 2022 Author Share Posted December 13, 2022 Whenever I can get back to the UK I hope the Mach Loop is active. It would be worth it to haul all the camera gear out there for this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
