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.

What a base! I just came back from Japan and did 2 days at Hyakuri last thursday & friday. Lots of sunshine, Phantoms, Eagles and T-4's! Made a lot of great pictures on the runway/take-off/landing, but the taxiway was less good this time due to the high grass and heatwaves...
All in all 8 woodpeckers were flying. Considering that they are losing them fast I was happy to photograph so many. There were more on the flightline, but I'm not a tailspotter.

Hi Peter,

about those woodpeckers, which ones are they losing, the original RF-4E with camera noses or the RF-4EJ(Kai)'s with the guns and podded systems?

Hi Hans,

Both of them! They are down to six RF-4Es and five RF-4EJs. However, the number seems to be steady now. No more recce Phantoms have vanished since March this year, when 913 was seen for the last time.

Now I am even more happy with our very succesful day in April! :)

Greetings, Paul
