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.

Eagle Sentry 2007 @ Klamath Falls. After playing another air battle over eastern Oregon, some of the participants joined up over the airfield before coming in to land.

Shot at the London Ontario Air Show during the seventies or early eighties, I don't know, but it is a special formation: 1 Snowbird, 1 Blue Angel, 1 Patrouille de France, 1 Frecce Tricolore and 1 other I don't know. Anyone is to what the missing plane is and when this shot was taken ? If solved, a whole tray of slides can be dated as well......

Tulln October 2005: the Austrian military celebrated its 100th anniversary with a formation of 100 aircraft. From Tulln some 50 choppers and fixed wings (PC-6's) took off. The morning had been sunny, but when the whole bunch went airborne the weather was verry sh!tty :(

If it's a Esquadrilha da Fumaça Tucano (the colors seem to match their old c/s), then the pic must be from 1985-86

Some day in 1985 Fumaça started flying the Tucano, while in november 1986 the Blue Angels quit flying the Skyhawk.

I hope this helps.

Don't know if it have to pics of large formations (what is large), so I interpreted a formation being a flight consisting out of 2 or more aircraft:
