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.

Very interesting because when visited from ground level , one doesn't see the shear size of AMARC. Sad to see the C-141's bit the dust and only five are still present , the mighty Starlifter met the end of the line just like the B-47 StratoJet to name one. Any additional Scrapyard pictures ?

There's more foreign planes at Pima besides the Eastern Block MiG's like a Bristol Blenheim and a Hawker Hunter
