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.

Volkel 27 September 2024 - Final KLu F-16 flight

Post by Rene Klok »

After 45 years of operations today was the day of the final flight of eight Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16's. What was supposed to be a tour across the country passing all places that have been significant throughout the years was cut short due to very bad weather.
I had positioned myself near the approach of runway 06 hoping to see anything at all. If it hadn't been for this special occasion I would not have posted pics here.

This one came low and fast from behind the trees together with a second one. Took me by surprise.

Thanks for sharing.
Understand your point.
In different circumstances you simply would have deleted those images because of "below standard " :respect:

I think the pictures are very nice! Espacially because of the historical moment.
