Photo Comment

Photo taken at FL140 from on-board RAF 216 Sqn's Tristar K1 ZD951, during a refuelling stationing over the Adriatic Sea, for Operation Deny Flight. This Jaguar is loaded with 2 x 1200 litres external tanks, the BAe Recce pod on the fuselage pylon, an ALQ-101 ECM pod on the left outboard pylon, a Phimat chaff dispenser on the right outboard pylon and 2 x AIM-9 Sidewinder missiles on the upper wing pylons. Note the high attitude angle over the horizon line to match tanker's speed. The GA code should refer to the RAF 54th Sqn. 216 Sqn Tristars were detached at Milano Malpensa airport.
