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.

I remember when I started to listen to radio comms back in 1977, with a very cheap transistor radio:
A starfighter here at Leeuwarden came taxiing to the runway 06 an holded in front of us.
We had about 4 radioes hanging in the fence, pilot on the radio: "Hey guys, can you here me?".
We waved at him, which meant: "yes".
Pilot: "Hi guys, enjoy this".
He taxied away with the famous howling sound of his aircraft, I will never forget that.
Great memories!

Off topic again, sorry, but thought I share this memory.
