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.

Post by Bruno »

During a recent trip in the US I stayed a couple of hours at Coronado Beach.
I saw some birds and there were Dutch F-16 from Tucson.

Nice pics!

(Small detail I noticed on the J-882: I don't think it's common that the darker grey upper surface color is sprayed all the way around the gun port, at least I've never noticed that before...)

Even more minor; the rail across the canopy is usually not painted grey on Dutch F-16's
Answers will be questioned.....

882 received a new paintjob early February at the ANG Paint Facility in Sioux City, Iowa. Perhaps that got something to do with it.... :wink:

Anyway, Bruno great photos, looking forward to seeing more.
