A Fighter Escort from Shadow's 1 and 3 !!!

As we flew into Perth Captain Roddy Maddocks and FO Andrew "Granville" Harrison were joined by 2 online pilots (John Cronan and his friend)  flying F18 Fighter Jets, they flew alongside and took photos which they sent to us .... unfortunately as they did not fly in front of our plane the crew did not actually see them outside of the windows :(  ... Hopefully they will fly by next time.   Many thanks for the Photos and the Support Guys !
