Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

I like them all...

Pretty good shot, considering the weather conditions.
Looks like a nice openday, with a very nice log.

Me too!!!

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.

Name me a few (apart from the Netherlands and the US) that fly all those types.

Like the pictures! They sure know how to keep aircraft clean looking!

Hi Hanz & All,

did you visit on the preview days Thursday or Friday?

It was open to the public Saturday and Sunday and weather was good - got a decent sunburn indeed! Some good pics from F50, C130 but the static only with lots of people as didn't come in early morning.

Did you get any clue the China Southern B757 parked or the UPS MD11 hangared with Sasco?

Best Regards
Cruise (WSSS)

P.S. 734 C-130 was also on the flightline on Saturday

Greece.
Only a few fly all those types that's right, but a lot fly one or some of those.

Turkey is another one which flies all those types. (or on order).
I think Israel as well. And not to forget the U.A.E.

Do you have more pictures of this F-16? The PI (USAF serial) is not known yet. It would be great if you could find that out on your original image(s).

Hi Cruise,

Did see the CS 757, but not sure about the registration. It was next to the USAF C-130H. I managed to get in on Friday and went on Saturday afternoon, just to take a few photos. Still pretty wet then... Like your pics! Best regards, Hans.

Hi Joris,

I do have plenty of photos but with the grey weather and the bird parked with the rightside facing me, i'm unable to read it.

Got those two though:

01-6015 666
97-0123 640

Brgds,
Hans.
