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.

Hi all.

Really great collection, but the horizon on the pictures 1,2,3,5 seem to be not level. Maybe you can adjust it to improve these high quality shots even more.

Depends on your look of things. If you check the Dutch Euro coins you will find the same sort of text.

Nevertheless some awesome pics Frank.
Groeten, Regards,

I really like this. Especially the F-5's. The text "God bless you" can also be found on the Hawks and C130's which visited Europe this summer.

Maybe, just maybe, you don't know the situation at Konya.


Great stuff Frank, you really are the "Great Leader"!
