Two years ago today 😀 Feel the Noize 😍 Luftwaffe Tornados away during Cobra Warrior (CW22) exercise - new compilation now on YouTube 😍

Under dark skies Two of the six visiting Luftwaffe Panavia Tornados 46+23 and 46+49 can be seen in this video, blasting away into the dark unblue yonder 😎:)

A rather large rain shower can be seen in the distance which was heading our way fast! A hand-held iPhone video :)

 

Latest compilation now available on YouTube 😍

Low-res shot taken with an iPhone 6s iPhone photography - apologies for the poor quality of some of these phone photos - sometimes they're nice and sharp - sometimes they're all pixelated and not up to my usual standard. The videos are better :)
