Hi gents,

here is a selection of my shots from this week's excellent "Night Photo Shoot" at Laage Air Base - Home of the JG 73 "Steinhoff".

It was once again a very enjoyable day, and even a chilly evening spent on the flightline and shelters in Laage, when we could also witness some night flights too.
In all up to 15 different jets flew during the day and night, but we focused on the 30+11, as this is the last of 4 a/c with all three Eurofighter Wing badges on the tail.
Luckily the weather was on our side, and we had awesome conditions during the day and even the night - off course :rock:
A big "Thank You" must go to everyone involved in Laage, and all the air and ground crews that worked hard to make this shooting happen....
Everyone did an extraordinary job on that day..... As always a huge thanks and well done goes to S1 Info for preparing the shooting, base personnel and Fire Dept for their participation during the shooting!

Ok enough for now, let tell the pictures the rest of the story...... hope you enjoy them, and comments & critiques are more as welcome.


Cheers
Mick
