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.

Hello Dino,

great shot! I was at Key West last week but had to do it from outside. A base visit was refused to some kind of on-base security exercise (or at least that's the excuse they gave me).
I don't know if many aircraft have switched over the weekend, but I am still looking for a lot of BuNo's of the Hornets that were present last week. Or you a 'pictures only' spotter or a number cruncher as well?

Units present last week were among others VFA-204, VFC-12, VFA-37, VFA-87, VFA-15 and I might forget a few (at work right now). I saw two to four of each unit. I saw a bunch of F-5's too but read most of their BuNo's. I would also be very interesting in knowing which two E-2's were present at the flightline last week (but did not move).

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

Bas

Hi,

I had a visit with the F-5's and was not allowed to shoot at the other units :-( I will see what comes from the pictures and maybe you have some bunos for me as well :-)
will get back to you after my holiday,

Dino
