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.

Volkel 8-7-2019 (F-35 test flight)

Post by Zonan »

Hello,
I went to Volkel for a day of F-16 power and had some nice surprises today.
First one was that the F-35 (which was stuck here since the air show 3 weeks ago) was going to perform a test flight.
Second was that the QRA (2 24/7 combat ready F-16s) were flying a training mission.

1. First, FLANKER3 and 4 departed

4. When the FLANKERS were back, AG01 and 02 (QRA) departed and thereafter the BULLDOG01 and 02 as well.
