Greetings,
I made it down to KDOV to get some shots of the RAF A330MRTT and the 3 Tornado GR4s as they made their way back home from KLSV. They arrived 2 days ago and were to depart yesterday at 10:00am. However, after engine-start and pre-taxi one of the Tornadoes went mechanical and after several hours of waiting the pilots called ground to cancelled the flight plan and said they will be there for the night and will plan on departing the same time tomorrow. This made my first attempt a total failure. Luckily they departed the second day. This same thing happened to me with the UAE Mirages as well a few weeks back!
The shots were challenge edits as they heat haze was brutal and ruined many of not most shot.
Today's departure was to be at 10:00am KDOV-LPLA (Azores). However I noticed the planes diverted to CYQX (Gander) I would like to know if one of the Tornadoes had a mechanical issue again and had to divert.
In my UAF A330/Mirage Dover post someone had asked if the UAF mirages I shot at KDOV were loud and they were not. On the other hand the Tornadoes were extremely loud as I had expected them to me- Very Very impressive and glad to finally get them after building a Model kid of one when I was 6 years old.
Both types are new for me.
