Early evening on the flight deck. VAW-124 "Bear Aces" CO jet prepares to launch from USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71. Roosevelt and CVW-8 were deployed during 2005 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom.
56(R) Squadron jet lined up on runway 21 at the 2005 Waddington Air Show media day. Note the 43(F) Squadron tail fin marks, a result of Navigator Flt Lt Gareth "Gaz" Littlechild remaining operational with 43(F) Squadron during the 2005 display season.
Sporting No. 23 Squadron marks, this jet was used for Weapons Loading Training (WLT) after being withdrawn from front line service. She now rests at RAF Leeming, but is thought to be soon preserved at a good home!
Fliegerstaffel 18 "Panthers" jet (assigned to Fliegergeschwader 11) shot on departure from runway 23. Note the Panthers squadron badge under the cockpit.
No. 41(R) Squadron jet, overshooting runway 25. The Squadron retired their Tornado F.3's in December 2007, another sign that the service life of the F.3 is coming to an end.
