Hi everyone, this is my first post on a great forum,
I'm a military aviation photographer in the UK and specialize in taking photos of low level aircraft, particularly in the Mach Loop or as you guys call it "the Roundabout". In fact in June last year I was fortunate enough to fly through the loop myself in an RAF Hawk so know just how the experience is first hand.
Since 2008 I have photographed over 20 different F-15s out of Lakenheath flying through these valleys and have taken some awesome photos so I though I'd post them on here in the hope that some of the aircrews may recognise themselves - if you do then drop me a pm and I'll send over some high res copies.
And if you are stationed at Lakenheath at the moment then maybe, perhaps maybe, you would be kind enough to perhaps arange a "photoshoot" in the Roundabout sometime - pm me if this is of interest to you.
I would love to also hear any stories that you have of flying the Roundabout and also the "Stonehenge" tour (Stonehenge, Lands End I believe). From an enthusiasts point of view, to hear an American voice come on freq 278.000 gets the pulse racing, and then to hear the unmistakable noise and then the shadow of an approaching F-15 before finally trying to get the photo that will make the trip worthwhile.
Over to you guys - and thanks from the UK... Alex
