Exercise Cobra Warrior - Wednesday 25th September 2024 - in the second week of the only Cobra Warrior exercise in 2024 (the March exercise was cancelled), I made my second visit to RAF Waddington to try and capture some of the action - Polish Air Force F-16s + Royal Canadian Airforce (RCAF) CF-188 Hornets + Finnish Air Force F-18 Hornets :)

On this visit, the blue skies had vanished, and the wind was up! However, I was able to film and photograph all three visiting airforces, including the Polish F-16s :)

In this shot, we see the first of the pair of Finnish Air Force McDonnell Douglas F-18C Hornets to depart - HN-452 - heading for Runway 20.
