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.

At least there were some good weather days during the exercise. Great to see the Indian Mirages in their latter days of service too.

We had the famous four seasons in one day as well. That is why we ventured out three days and shuttling between Waddington and Coningsby for all the participants. Very nice set of 02 end.

One remark on 'latter days of service' I think the Indian AF are putting their M2000 fleet through upgrades and bought all they could lay their hands on from surplus French AF stock, including airframes from the Chateaudun clean-out. While we could all enjoy their European 'first visit' I think they intend to fly on with them for many years to come.

Thanks for that, I hadn't picked this up.
