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.

IAF Skyhawk farewell

I suppose I ought to put the images here rather than in Mil news, so here are some samples from a sombre Hatzerim on the end of 48 years of the Scooter in IAF service.

A-4Ns first

(unfortunately I couldn't get sunny-side of the taxi-way)

(with a rather dated tail message - that was three years ago already!)

Too kind guys, it´s my pleasure to share these with you, and thanks for not pointing out dust on the lens, wrong ISO, not centred, colour density etc (use PMs for that).

So, ready from some tweezitters??
