As seen in the last few videos, lots of aircraft arrived at RAF Waddington on Wednesday for Exercise Cobra Warrior - a bi-annual air exercise and the largest hosted by the RAF.
Joining them this year is the Belgian Air Component with their six F-16AM Fighting Falcons (only five shown in video as one turned short on the runway), the Finnish Air Force with their six F/A-18C Hornets and the Indian Air Force with their five Dassault Mirage M.2000s.
Over the next month or so, the aircraft are expected to fly multiple times a week whilst the pilots hone their combat, dogfighting and low-level flying skills!
Also featured in this video are various 'support' aircraft including a Belgian A400M, Finnish Learjet, Indian C-17 and IL-78 and a Saudi KC-130J.
