Flying by one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Iceland. It is call Dynjandi and falls off the northern side of the mountain. The air was pretty rough on this side of the fjord, and therefore the props look almost stationary.

Landing on runway 20 on 19. May 1977. It is carrying the William Tell markings for 1976 on its tanks, and seems reasonably healthy on this day. This aircraft was for a long time in 1975 at least a "hangar queen" and went by the nickname of "triple sick".

Doing a formation approach to runway 02. The tail paintwork on 63-7475 is starting to peel badly. Both aircraft arey carrying jamming pods on the inner pylons. The 57th pilots were not often caught doing formation landings. These landed seperately.

Taxying in after landing at Keflavik for exercise Northern Viking 2008.
A very rare air to air opportunity with two of the French air patrol Mirage 2000 intercepting the Coast Guard Super Puma TF-LIF for a photo opportunity. The weather was not good, but the fighters made 4 passes. Here is the second pass. Tight formation.

My first military action photo. Two 57th FIS Delta Daggers with 56-1403 farther away. Taken with a non reflex Zeiss Ikon 35 mm camera with a 50mm lens. We must have been very close to runway 12 at the Charlie taxiway. I am still amazed by this photograph.
