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.

Some how this formation is looking very much as what I saw in the past during a GREAT trip ....... :wink:

Men..... it;s gone now such a large fly-past (and for sure by A-7's).

Sometimes I shame myself that I never took a camera with me :oops:

Cheers!

So? You do all the dutch types, don't you? :lol:

Just kidding, Erik. :wink: It's just that we miss our A-7P/TA-7Ps terribly and you folks all throughout Europe have a lot of nice pictures of when they still used to cross the skies. :)



Vought A-7P "5525" (c/n A-080, BuNo. 153171) at Volkel AB on September 21st 1992. This Corsair II from Squadron 304 "Magníficos" was in The Netherlands in a Squadron Exchange with one of Volkel's F-16 units, and crashed the next morning em Alhorn (Germany). The pilot ejected safely.
