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.

I do not remember the Saab type-designation, but if I remember well it is often refered to as the "Lil' Draken".

Wijgert is right:
The Saab 210 was powered by an Armstrong Siddeley "Adder" turbojet with 450 kilograms (1,000 pounds) thrust. This left the machine seriously underpowered, and in fact in warm weather, it was often flown in the dark hours of the morning. Despite this limitation, the Lill Draken performed about a thousand test flights before being donated to the Flygvapnet museum.

When I encountered this one I thought it was a plane put together at a kindergarten with the use of all kind a spare parts...

Well it is probably too easy to ask where this one was taken?

OK... a few more from me. This time they're all civil, allthough 4 of the 5 are (or were) also used by the military.

Nice ones Bert, but to push tennis balls into somebody else's exhaust is a bit, well.... :D
#1; ERJ.135 (or 145), the upturned APU exhaust is a dead giveaway,
#2 T-28
#3 AW.139
#4 ??
#5 TBM.700

I think #3 is not an AW.139 but a Sikorsky S-76.

I thought so too and:

4) Cl.605 Challenger
5) not a TBM.700 (different intake, nose wheel and wheel doors) but what it is......
