probably the best colour scheme of any hawk display team ,the striking green and white of the Saudi Hawks in their BAe Hawk MK65s…

Thanks Kev. Yeah, tbh everyone always chases good light but poor light ( or no light in this case), can be just as interesting.

My first time at the Mach Loop and after waiting about 5 hours on a cold grey day (the week before had been record high temps) this Hawk came thundering through and I wasn’t ready for him, so trying to make the best of a cut-off shot.

Nothing wrong with that Nathan. I’ve been there many times, drawn plenty of blanks too, but when it kicks off, it’s insane. I had 29 passes in 4 hrs once.
I really must try to get back down there soon

Wow, 29 in 4 hrs seems insane. We had 5 in 9 hours. There were a few other aircraft in the loop (including an A400M) but they never came past CAD West. Definitely need more than two days there, our first day was cold and grey and the second was rained out.

We were thinking that everything seemed to be going past bwlch so will try that if we ever get back.
