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.

Today, the 40th Squadron of Koksijde AB (famous for its SeaKings) recieved the first of 4 new NH90-NFH's.
RN-02 arrived here this afternoon at 15.25, after its ferry flight from Donauwörth, Germany.

here's a first picture, i hope to have more up somewhere tomorrow 8)

Thank you for the picture.
I saw it for a fuel stop at EDFH yesterday, didn't see any markings or reg. and was wondering whom it belonged to.

Too bad indeed that it's completely toned down.
Thanks for the first heads up Nils.

Nice picture :) . Indeed to bad of the toned down markings. But as I remember the Army NH-90's had those toned down markings too when delivered and it was changed to full color markings after delivery. Maybe this happens also to the Navy ones.

It looks like Belgium picked out the same colors for their navy NH-90's as the dutch.

So Belgium has Nayy colors and Army colors for their NH-90's. Nice variaty.

It's indeed a boring sight a complete gray aircraft, but this looks nicer with colorful roundels. Saw this one at Beauvechain during my visit with the GRAS.

Nice catch anyway
