Lightning Night Shoot

Postby LightningMk6 » Thu Jan 03, 2013 11:26 am

This is a different opportunity to gain professional twilight/night time Lightning photos using both XR728 and XS904, which will involve staged set pieces with pilots and ground crews using the QRA hangar as a period back drop, there will be no engine running during the event.

That's what Lightnings do my friend, make lots of noise, good ear defenders recommended.

There will not be any ground runs on this occasion as the paragraph above the poster states
