‘BLADE 22’
A Royal Canadian Air Force CF-18A Hornet (188730), second of a pair, operating out of RAF Waddington - carrying out low flying ops in LFA7 during Ex Cobra Warrior 23-2.
As Hollywood as it sounds I managed to get to an acceptably elevated position just a couple minutes before the roar of GE turbofan engines filled the valley. Phew!
The day was pretty tricky with the heat, & with dust being carried in the air & rain from recent Sahara storms getting on the chest & on the camera.
I was glad for a shower that evening.
