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.

Hèhè... That's a weird thought indead... have never thought of it that way!
Funny!
Absolutely! Except that it's off by five years ;) - or am I missing something?
Still, the thought counts and it definitely puts matters into perspective! It also points out one thing that made aviation less interesting the past few decades (at least in my view): lack of new types... :cry:

:oops: never was good in maths.. :-) But maybe that's why I posted a three year older F-16 today... now it's almost correct... :lol:

But as you say, look at squadron-hostories in the fifties and sixties, you will see thay converted to a new type every four, five years....

Must have caused a lot of spotters' stress, not a lot of time to get a type "complete"!
