MCAS Miramar 2010 Oct. 2010 The Super Fighters: Typhoon and F-22 Raptor
As I stood outside the Miramar flight line entry I wondered what the Marines had put on display for me to shoot. I knew the Hornets, Harriers and Hercules would be there of course but, I was amazed to find the frontline fighter of the RAF to be there. That RAF fighter would be none other than the BAE Typhoon. This would be the first time I would ever see a Typhoon up close and personal. I was thrilled. Those two Typhoons were worth the trip from Las Vegas all by themselves. I definitely took more shots of those Typhoons than I did almost as much as the rest of the statics all put together. I can count three different times I went back to shoot the Typhoons. The awesome F-22 Raptor was located in the aircraft performer area. None were on static display. The long walk to the far western side of the ramp was where the Raptors were parked. Raptors meaning two. One from Langley and one from Tyndall. Very nice indeed. Both of these Awesome Super Fighters are featured on this web page. Enjoy the photos.
