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.

Nice 1st of april's joke! The fact that it says Ramstein today gives it away though...I don't think the sun has been shining so brightly yet this morning at Ramstein.

@mst-aviation and Kleintje Pils: you're right, weather at Ramstein is a lot clearer than here (at work in the Achterhoek), seeing the satellite shot. And a lot better than when I was there last thursday....
But still, I think the sun in the KC-10 picture was high in the sky, as in a summer around noon or later (look at the shadows and reflection on the engine nacelles). A 1st of april, 11 o'clock sunshine wouldn't be so much 'on top' of the aircraft.

Hi,

Wasn't meant to be too difficult :-)

here's the original, indeed last queens day.
