Absolutely terrific capture, very sharp considering how much movement there must've been at the time, what is quite interesting to me is the 3 aircraft flying tight formation in the vertical with so much action

On the East Coast of England, both Tornados perform a 'wing over' manoeuvre. The other aircraft, ZE168, is releasing quite a few decoy flares

Boeing 757-200F, TF-FIG, photographed over slopes of Mount Hekla on March 6, 2000. The volcano erupted a week and a half before, but was now dormant. The new lava is still smoking and hot. This is the new all cargo 757.

This is how the Navy does it. Sneak pass about 50 feet of the deck and making its own weather system. Its only practice too.

Seeing the Harrier on the ramp. With a flag blocking the way? "Principe de Asturias" at Madeira, because of the Nato exercise. At background you can see Funchal city.
