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.

Okay, some backlight, but "Mikey", you've got a terrace with a very interesting view there! Is this where you live these days :?:

And indeed, a great "Chinese catch"! 8)

Midday and air filled with smoke gives you backlight in any direction I am afraid, distance is another issue, but can't complain.
Oh, and it is Pretoria, South Africa, currently.

Nice one :worship: ! Good to see too that the Zambian AF has compassion for those of us who start to become shortsighted over the years :P

Thx guys.

A second Zambian L-15 arrived a little later AF1003, but did righthand down wind so didn't pass the terrace. MA-60 AF607 arrived as support. The two L-15s are at Waterkloof for the African Aerospace and Defense Show so should be around for the next week.
