Me and a friend took the 500 km drive to Ørland airbase for the spottersday in connection with this years Tigermeet.. Spent the whole day with about 450 other “maniacs” from all over Europe and also quite a few Japanese guys..
Got to see some jets I dont see all that often up here anymore also. There was supposed to be some Slovak Mig-29’s French Mirages and also some Checz (I beleve) mil-24 Hinds, but they didt come due to budget restraints.. ohwell
Here is what did turn up anyway

Smashing pictures nice to see my fave – Rafale gorgiousssssss, how come so many where “tooled up” with what looks like live gear amram/sidewinder etc, i thought display or fighter meet get togethers are normaly with non armed a/c or normaly dummies.
thanks dude, there aint no live rounds on these jets. all of them carry capitve missiles as far as I can tell.. the blue band on the missile body is a dead giveaway. a live one would have a brown band on the rocketmotor and a yellow one on the HE parts.
