Last Wednesday Spotting Group Volkel (SGV) had the opportunity to visit the Vliehors bombing- and gunnery range at the Dutch island of Vlieland. During our presence two F-15E's from Lakenheath bombed the range, and Dutch F-16 demo "Orange1" did two "over water" training flights.
The Strike Eagles did their bomb runs on the target at the southern end of the range, releasing the bombs at an estimated 1.5 miles from our position. All three photos were shot at 800mm, with the bomb shot being a 23% crop of the original shot.
It was a nice day ot, with special thanks to the Vliehors crew for their hospitality and SGV for arranging this visit.
Cheers,
Iwan

Forum rules
This 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 colors, lighting, it's if you are fying just in front of this bird..
maybe little more cropping, so this falcon would fly right of your screen/picture (just my option )
