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.

IAF Eagles

Post by Starman »

With some time on my hands it was opportune to seek out the "new" IAF Eagle, and I was just going to give you that, but if one of our so called members of the Knesset (parliament) can flout the rules, endangering a family, then I can post photos of the sky with some grey shapes in the foreground. Hope you like them. Nah, I know you will!

Here we go then, and at number five, from 1976, but rumored to be due for phase-out as the "new" Ds come on line, its an F-15A with FMS 76-1505, performing the much loved low-roll-out left take-off ….

At number 4, from the 1980 delivery we have F-15C "Commando" displaying 3 and a half kills (downgraded from 4 and a half) the former 80-0129 (which actually appears on the NWD)

Image840 by Starman OK, on Flickr

Moving forward to 1983 and at number 3, another F-15C showing her nether regions, the 83-0054 named "Nachshon" (I hadn't noted the name before)

Number 2, a former Lakenheath favourite (delivered thru there some years ago) and now confirmed as FMS 90-0277, named "shoshanat harochot" (Compass points, but not really visible from this angle)

Image715 by Starman OK, on Flickr

Finally, and the moment you've all been waiting for, Top of the Pops, the former Oregon Guard 80-0055, now resplendent in new boots and panties (surely new paint and R2D2-unit, ed), but alarmingly (for the superstitious) with the same name as the unfortunate 110 (now rebuilt as 122) Hod hachanit (spear point, or "point of the spear" for the pedantic)
