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.

I like'm, especially that one!

Three shots from the Culdrose open day on 29 July 1987:
Mega helo formation, opening the flying display if I remember correctly.
Image

Nine Jetstreams passed overhead the helicopters when they reached the middle of the runway, then returned for a break.
Image

Three Sea Kings performed together later on, here are two of them.
Image

On to Japan, 2002.
Iruma open house on 3 November. The leader did not fit in this frame. 8)
Image

11 November, ops day at Tsuiki.
Image

13 November, daily routine at Hyakuri...

Patrouille Suisse at Stans-Buochs in 1994. Their last year of operating the Hunter

Image

Frecce Tricolori also at Stans-Buochs in 1994

Image

After some testing we managed to get it right and got the radio controled plane in one frame with traffic taking off from Schiphol's Kaagbaan. Picture taken near Rijsenhout. Does it count as a formation flight when the other plane is unaware of it?

Groeten, Regards,
