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.

KNFW Banzai F35 and Iraqi F16IQ

Post by davechng »

We got best of spotting in Dec when we catch Japanese F-35A .... we also caught an Iraqi F-16IQ testing out the drag chute.... this drag chute test for Lockheed martin only comes on the 3rd or 4th flight for the jet!

Lucky us to have caught that plus our local unit and visiting units came .... the unique one is our 301st FW doing a tandem low key option! I ahve shot them so much but never doing this in tandem.

:lol: In toned-down version, the Japanese roundel is by definition the most boring roundel in the world.
