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.

Green Shield 2014 at Nancy-Ochey

Post by Interceptorsaurus »

Hi!

We spent monday and tuesday at Nancy to enjoy the Green Shield exercise. Ofcourse the main goal were the Saudi Eagles, we saw 5 out of 6 fly and there were lots and lots of other goodies to enjoy. Here's a few pics, the weather was partly crappy on monday morning and sadly - insh Allah - we did not get any sunshine on the Eagles when they returned on both days...... Great to see the action, hope you like the picas.

I noticed that the Saudi's have a small antenna on the top of there vertical left fin and the Americans have a big antenna, are these down gradings?
I wonderd why sinds these are ex US types.

This is normal in all (or most?) export Eagles. Apparently also in ex-USAF examples.
