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.

Mooi shot, alleen op de neus is er wat onscherpte, da's jammer. :worship:

Indeed a bit unsharp on the nose as I see it now on my monitor and not the laptop screen.
It is most likely due to having various heat sources between me and the runway like other aircraft and aircondition vents of the terminal.
Here is another shot with a different angle:

There were 6 VMFA232 FA18C's present that day:

165181/WT-00, 165186/WT-01, 165183/WT-04, 165195/WT-07, 165218/WT-10, 165222/WT-11. In the morning 4 flew, 2nd wave there were 5. Only WT-04 didn't fly. Too bad I couldn't wait for the 2nd wave but I had a plane to catch. Serials courtesy of Paul, a local spotter.

Supporting the FA18's was a KC130J 167985/QB:

Nice to leave home with some nice F-18 in the bag.

Cheers, Dick
