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.

Maybe I exaggerate a little now and perhaps you don't agree but it seems to me like these shots alone made your (very wet) trip worthwhile. Fantastic images and surely amongst the best ones of the F-22 I've seen on the internet so far. Well done! :)

Please don't throw rocks @ me because I was there :dontkno: ,(just kidding)

I was and still am very very sorry, for everybody who went or planned to go to the riat.
I've heard some stories one for example, of a local butcher who bought 5000 pound's worth of hamburgers, he is eating a lot of burgers in the future...
So that's very sad, and spoke to a guy who was alone just for the riat all the way from canada...and those are only 2 examples, so still I am very sorry for You all!!
We were an park and view friday, and went to the flying legends |Dux. on sat. (was very nice with good weather. Did some sightseeing in Bath (very nice and beautifull place), and on monday
also park and view. so to be honest We had a nice weekend,
despite raining totally wet for 4 times on friday....

on with the show,

Wow, and I missed all those great planes :oops: Can't remember the BBMF formation giving a top-side pass, so that one is not only great, imo also very rare. And about the third in your first post, there is a topic about afterburner pics (thought it was called "burning hot"), maybe you can put it down there to?

Really great pics of the Raptor (and the others too).
It makes even more sad that I didn't get to see it.
Kind regards

Owwwh :shock:
You make me envy your photos again... ...
Despite bad weather really nice shots, that show the whole atmosphere as well!
Unfortunately, it has a negative side as u have more noise in the picture, however its not that disturbing (only a bit here and there) as the pics are amazing!

BTW, please dont post them in the bad wheather topic too, it will be too much for me to handle... :twisted:
http://WWW.FVPHOTO.NL/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; --- Check out my photos of this spotting season on my website!

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.

I think the F-22 is one hella ugly aircraft (my vote was for the X-23)

But my god this crate has some awesome vortex..ees (lol or how ever you spell it)
