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.

Today was our last day in Sri Lanka ;-(. What a great country. Most of the Group is leaving for the expo in India. I will enjoy a holiday on the south coast of Sri Lanka.
Today was great again at Bandaranaike!!

Mooi hoor. Zit een hoop materieel tussen waar "wij" al lang afscheid van genomen hebben. Een MIG 23 in moderne, grijze kleuren is leuk om te zien. De helikopters staan er ook mooi op.

Are those Kfirs J-79- or Atar-powered? In case of J-79, I'm curious, did they have the howling sound??

Bl**dy amazing report by the way...!!

See you soon!

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.

All Kfirs built are/were powered by J-79s.

I'm sooooo jaleous, heard stories about sri lanka and the presence of forces in the towns. But it's good to see such a nice photo report. Most of these fighters we find old like an ancient Mig-21 F13 but they're great to see!

The flying Kfir is great!

more please :)


Cheers, Evert
