The Polish spotter (aviation photographer) S\u0142awek Krajniewski \"Hesja\" is the author of a fantastic photo series of the Spanish EF-18Ms<\/a> of the Vilkas Detachment.<\/p>\n

The formidable photographs of Spanish EF-18 fighters taken by a Polish spotter<\/a><\/rel>
\nThe Spanish EF-18, the main attraction in a massive popular event in Lithuania<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

As you could already see here on July 13, those photos were taken on July 7 as part of a session made with two EF-18M fighters from the 12th Wing of the Air Force<\/strong>, deployed from March at the \u0160iauliai Air Base (Lithuania) on a Baltic Air Policing (BAP) mission for NATO. A photo shoot that was done from the tailgate of a transport plane, with the fighters approaching from behind. On his Facebook page<\/a>, Hesja has posted more photos from that shoot in recent days. This is, without a doubt, some of the best photos that have been taken so far of these Spanish fighters.<\/strong> You can see them below. To see the enlarged photo, click on each image. This time I will make comments on just some of the photos.<\/p>\n

In a few photos you can see the inside of the air intakes of an EF-18M so well.<\/p>\n
