Happy Father's Day, gentlemen!
I haven't had time to look at my air to air shots yet. Here are some pix from Iceland.
Just beautiful photography here Douglas! #2 Exceptional! All are most excellent!
Were you able to "connect" with Rajan Parrikar?
Again SUPER compositions!

I noticed the French Typhoon in the last picture is a bit different from the German Typhoon above it. The French one has a sensor/antennae(?) in front of the cockpit.
The last picture is an Italian Typhoon and the sensor is :
The EuroFirst Passive Infrared Airborne Track Equipment (PIRATE) is the forward looking infrared (FLIR)/infra-red search and track (IRST) for the Eurofighter Typhoon
I took that from Wikipedia
The French fly the Dassault Rafale and the Mirage as their main fighters.
The fifth photo in your series with yellow tail and the Viking tiger is the Rafale
Thanks for pointing it out, J-A! I saw that small red/white/blue circle on the last jet's body like the ones on the French Rafale, so I assumed it was French I didn't know some of the jets are Swedish Gripens until today when edited the pictures and noticed they looked different from the Typhoons even though they all have a pair of "small wings".
A few more from the landing.
