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.

After a 24 hour delay because of weather the last three F16's left Volkel: 242 exJ870, 246 exJ193, 249 exJ057.
After being released bij rapcon south they were handed over to Amsterdam (!) 231.7mc . This because Dutch Mil left it's almost brand new bunker at Nieuw-Milligen and went to Amsterdam end of last week. In fact there it al started exactly 70 years ago...
Toooo bad it had to go this way and not wise is my opinion. But politics rule ....

The Jordanians were taxiing via de paralel rwy this time, which was not appriciated by the spotters at the fence I presume! The J005 all clean, went out for a FCF catching the first sunbeam since long ago...

Helemaal niet mee eens: ik vond het juist een érg leuke verrassing! (Want wij stonden aan de zuidzijde vanwege een kleine kans op zon en dus kwamen ze prachtig langs ons taxiën... :wink: )

Nice pictures Gerrit. Yes, end of an era. Sadly the phraseology "Dutch Mil" will never be heard again. Only memories will stay.
Nevertheless Happy Xmas.

Cheers,
Ranger

3 from the "other side" with the Jordanian Falcons taxiing via the 24L/06R. It was a long time ago that I visited the south side and very happy when they showed up on the parallel runway. I did feel for the people on the other side, could almost see their dissapointment. F-16AM 249, former J-057 is still on the hard drive waiting for some spare time to process.
