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.

Sunday 3rd August- the annual air festival and poor weather in the morning lead to the cancellation of the majority of the flying displays. By late morning it improved and the Misawa F-16 did a full display, which only left the Blue Impulse who displayed early afternoon.

Well done Paul! Nice set!
You were more lucky than I was back in 1999 (August 15-18, nearly 15 years ago already!)... No flying days :cry:
