Hi all,
Thanks to a tip from Frank I was able to catch the new Dutch Tiger that will go to the Tiger Meet in Orland.

Forum rules
 | This 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. |

Re: Volkel 22-5
The formation took part in a 'photoshoot' this morning.
It was also expected that the J-015 was joining the formation together with the Tiger and the two-ship.
Although it was expected that the two-ship should have a full combat configuration, it doesn't look like that to me...

Re: Volkel 22-5
Spooky : did you catch the Tiger in take off or in overshoot for landing ?
The tigertail on my picture is damaged, photo taken in the overshoot for landing this morning.

Hi Peter,
I caught the Tiger during the take-off ( luckily I must say now).

Re: Volkel 22-5
Wow, even the skies are in digital camo now 
A little less compression could have been used...

Re: Volkel 22-5
@peterdv: If you look at the first two pics in this topic (so not yours), the skies are in squares, a bit like digital camo as on the wellknown Slovakian MiG.29. Since they don't actually camouflage the sky anymore these days, it must be the result of too much JPEG-Compression.
Re: Volkel 22-5
@marcel32us : ok, clear. Thanx for the reply.

Re: Volkel 22-5
The tigertail was already damaged on the first flight. But seems to be fixed to the photo flight. Again the tail is damaged during the flight. "Pruts werk!"
Next time please let the Belgians do the special paintings.
Those look better, and last longer!

Sometimes the Klu exercises painting, like the Dutch Lion, but most of time they think they are good in stickering.

Re: Volkel 22-5
Hi Marcel,
On my Ipad I cannot see what you mean. It could be the case however, partly because of the limited size of 800 pix allowed when attaching photos. I will check later on my PC.
Best,
Anno

I am very sorry, but I must say this looks very cheap. 
Tiger schemes have seen better days I guess.

Re: Volkel 22-5
Agree, this must be one of the cheapest tigerscheme's ever. Atleast make an effort or don't try at all. (Same applies to the colours of the Apache demo BTW)I am very sorry, but I must say this looks very cheap. Tiger schemes have seen better days I guess.
And apparently they even can't get the paint to stick!!
Apart from the Orange Lion the KLu has never been good with special colourschemes. They only have to look across the border (Germany or Belgium) to see how you do a proper tiger scheme.
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.

Re: Volkel 22-5
Well, if they ban using air force vans to do private shopping outside the base, they could save money on fuel. That money can be used to do a decent paint job or proper stickers...Theo van den Boomen wrote:Easy for you to say, you don't have to pay the bill...Thermal wrote:Agree, this must be one of the cheapest tigerscheme's ever.
