This is nothing to do with mining but some of the photos are definately worth a look.

Some excellent shots there, especially the ones of them firing weapons, a rather fast shutter speed needed for some of those!

I especially like this one as the US military denied the existence of the SR-71 for many years & here's a whole bunch of em 😎

That link what Vanoord put up is of a F15 at low level, pulling lots of G with vapour coming off the wings. I think this shot was taken either in the Mach loop in North Wales or above the M6 at Tebay.

Brilliant photos. They must have been taken with a very fast shutter speed or something of that sort.

Odd, that is indeed the the image URL! Try this:

As Dark Prince says, it has a very British feel to it - the terrain is similar to north Wales (or Cumbria), there are sheep in the background and what looks to me like a dry stone wall!

I'd be tempted to suggest it's one of Rory Trappe's: http://www.pbase.com/caeclyd/mach_loop&page=1

The second link worked Vanoord. A nice photo with all that vapour coming off the wings and fuselage.
