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.

Great shots mate, well done. I'd be proud of those but one minor point, shot 15 is not an AH-1Z, check the rotors. It's an AH-1W!

Keep up the good work buddy

@sfeyenoord1, I think it's a EC-130H “Compass Call”.

Very nice pics of some fine aircraft. :shock:
Even saw a familiar one: F-15E 90-0257. I photographed this one in july 1998 at its former homebase RAF Lakenheath where it was flying with the 492nd FS. :D

Anyway well done and thanks for sharing. 8)
