Old "Yugo" photos

[Coldwater]

In this topic I post some photos of the aircraft when it RViPVOYugoslav nation was still united in many republics.
Even for this Air Force the go ahead from Belgrade came to me after many months of waitingeven though I had already 'made ​​some site inspections privately but looking good to take anyphotos because' there was not joking at all! In spite of the various bases visited cleared many times I had to clash with the political commissar and commander of the shooting that hinderedmore 'of a Commander Wing .At that time was really very hard to take pictures and here I was the first "the other party "to make a very interesting scoop .The French monthly AIR FAN gave a big space to one of my article about this subject.
My apologize for the quality of some photos but they are taken from slides K25/64 and with 2 different scanners!!!More forward more pictures!!

Very nice collection, those were the days an air force had lots of planes to show.

Dino, I like what you did. I think there are a lot of people wondering what tweaks you used. (About as many who do know...)

Please enlighten the ingnorant?

Well that was not that much rocket science...
I started with a auto color and auto tone correction, and with slide scanning these auto corrections do quit a lot !!
Then i used a little shadowhighlights and did some clone stamp to remove the dirt scanned from de slide...
A crop to remove the black parts and a little noise reduction with noise ninja.... then i have the result like this in only 60 seconds.

and one more edited

The edits are good, but there is just something about the original versions that I like better. They have a very Cold War feel about them!
