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.

Pic 3 almost reminds me of the old last chance spot at Soesterberg! (Except for the KC-135 which couldn't take the taxiway at SSB like that)

Nice pics from Spang!

Nice pics from Spangdahlem. Didn't thought they would fly, except for AMC...

Indeed the F-16's have a special paintcoat.

It's not dirt on the jets. It's the paint/coating which is called "Have Glass" that has been washed away partly.

It looks like some sort of polish / snow paint to me :mrgreen: (although I do like it)
