This is the U.S. Navy EA-18G Growler team photographed at Oshkosh 2024. Most importantly today, all four crew members successfully ejected and survived today’s collision. #USNavy #EA18G #Growler #NavalAviation #MilitaryAviation #Oshkosh #EAAAirVenture #AvGeek #AviationPhotography #FlyNavy #Airshow #PlaneSpotting #MilitaryJets #AviationNews

One of the last days of the night flying season 20 One of the last days of the night flying season 2025/26 gave me another nice opportunity to photograph Flight Test Tornado 98+79. I am still looking forward to see its slightly revised colourscheme in daylight, as this jet is the last Tornado still retaining the basic Norm 83 green. #tornado #panaviatornado #afterburner #reheat #RB199 #nightflying #bluehour #luftwaffe #bundeswehr #wtd61 #aviationdaily #aviationphoto #fighterjet #aviationphotography
it wasn't the worst decision to go to Meiringen du it wasn't the worst decision to go to Meiringen during Fliegerstaffel 11's WK2026. After bad weather and a cloud-covered first day, a clear blue sky revealed the snow covered mountain tops the following day. There can't be a better scenery for Swiss Air Force Hornets. I wonder how their F-35s will look in that surrounding. #fliegerstaffel11 #meiringen #haslital #f18hornet #fa18 #boeinglovers #switzerland🇨🇭 #swiss #aircraftphotography
98+79 is still alive, now with a slightly revised 98+79 is still alive, now with a slightly revised colourscheme (compare to the 2nd pic), i.e. ECR and FLIGHT TEST titles added, though still retaining the basic Norm 83 green. Full details are however under the veil of darkness when it took off for this night flight. #tornado #panaviatornado #afterburner #reheat #RB199 #nightflying #bluehour #luftwaffe #bundeswehr #wtd61
