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.

Yeah, Gifu rules!

Some interesting things to see on these pictures:
- some kind of sensor on the nose of the F-15 in picture 5
- a new (?) colours scheme on the F-2B in picture 6

Nice light on that F-2 (6) and Phantom (8)

Probably a IR sensor

Can't verify it much better unfortunately.

Hi,

F-15 sensor: It is the IRST for the Advanced Sensor System Integrated development program.
The program started FY2010(1st. Apr. 2010) and will end FY2016(31 Mar. 2017),
costs 14,100,000,000 JPY.

F-2B color: The color is 63-8102 original. Since her F/F as the XF-2B 63-0004, she wears such a light blue/white color scheme.

Nope, it's a one-of-a-kind test aircraft. There's also a red-white-blue and a red-white F-2.
