NATO Tiger Meet 2011 Cambrai

[Johan]

Yesterday 335 Sqn took part in flights ? because in 116 FW (Araxos AFB) we had a very rare accident.

Yes, they did fly but participated only in the morningwave. Can you tell us what happened?

A F-16D Block 52M from 335 Sqn lost the wheel of the front landing gear during take off, but the 2 pilots managed to land the aircraft in two wheels with minimum damage .

Ah ok that might explain that the Greeks didn't fly in the afternoon. Hopefully they won't be grounded for the rest the week....

John,

Mooie foto's maar wat ziet die Transall eruit zeg! Lijkt wel of er iemand met een kwast verf tekeer gegaan is.

Haha, denk eerder dat het tijd wordt voor een kwast verf. Lijkt wel of dat ding een jaar boven zee heeft gevlogen...

Hi, what sort of edit did you do in photoshop?
exposure?
they look ok for pictures taken on the 16th because of the weather.

Hello all,

Here a few low-quality pictures -some of them come from my smartphone...-, but with high-quality tiger-spirit


Tiger spirit from Flottille 11F (only crewmembers on airshow sunday)


Yes, that was a very nice blonde pilote of Cartouche Dore he was looking at on sunday...


"back to the tigers" from 321 squadron


Respect for the Cambrai-tiger please...!


The second famous Cambrai-tiger...


The real tiger-spirit from these charming polish ladies from 6 TFS (watch the tiger-tail...as most of the men did...)
(Note: would be a nice one for the old "airbabes" discussion... )


apparantly a nice trip for the guys from 321 sq.


How would Don look when i is in a bad mood....

Ok, that's it folks, looking forward to more nice airplane-pictures...

Not that much, I used F2.8 lenses and a few extra exposure steps.
In photoshop,
camera raw:
Select correct camera profile (I use a x-rite colorchecker to create the profile)
Select correct lens profile
Adjust exposure, fill lights and blacks if needed
Then in photoshop
unsharp mask and high pass filter
save the image and I'm done in photoshop

Just back from two days work after an enjoyable spotterday on monday. No time for some serious photoshop

On sunday we went to Cambrai Niergnes for the airshow, at least we had better light conditions than monday and they did cut the grass before the runway !!


The airshow itself had a lot of warbirds, but the Securite Civile EC145 made a nice fly by


As said the airshow further had difficult light conditions so before the real stuff came we went back to Cambrai Epinoy to cath this one:


On monday the C160 and the Eurofighter made our day.






Thanks to all the NTM crew to organize these fantastic spottersdays !! See you next year at Monte Real !!!
