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.

USA trip Part VI (Last) Mesa/ Williams AFB

Post by joan le poole »

Hello all,

As promised the part of our trip of which a lot of you want to see some photos from. So, this is the last part. On Februari 7 we were at Phoenix Mesa Gateway or Williams AFB. It was a great last day of our trip!

Enjoy!

1. Nice surprise, some A-4s
Image

2. We saw the last 2 T&Gs of this well painted KC-135.
Image

3. We knew 4 AV-8s were expected in the afternoon. This was another surprise :)
Image

4. Communication before shut down.
Image

5. Heavy crop, but a nice aircraft.
Image

6. Head on. I love this angle on this jet.
Image

7. You see, I love my job ;)
Image

8. The 2 Harriers we saw. Unfortunately we missed the last 2 because we had to leave and head to the Netherlands.
Image

9.

That was all. Hope you enjoyed my reports. More will be available at our website http://www.naviation.nl soon, or follow us at Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NaviationPhoto

Thanks for watching!

Very nice and clear images... but the A-4s can hardly be called a surprise.... They've been here for years! :wink:

@Ben: sorry, but I'm just 19, so I don't know what's all over the world ;)

Very nice those AV-8's! Won't be long before they're out of service, so better catch while you still can :)
Greetz,
