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.

Nice ones! Thought I heard RCH 7175 on Dutchmil that afternoon, but later ignorantly concluded that it had to have been RCH 0175...now I see that it was 7175 after all. Must be factory-new. 8)

By the way, I still don't get the new paint on C-20 92-0375...all other VIP jets in USAF-service have been receiving less and less military-looking colors and markings lately (or rather no-markings). With 92-0375 it is just the opposite...grey color, a roundel, and even full air force titles (the latter is very unique on VIP-planes, since it normally reads 'United States of America' rather dan 'United States Air Force'...)

Regards,

Stephan

Hi Stephan,

Thanx for the compliments.
The C-17 was a nice catch indeed, sadly the Edwards C-17 didn't fly and therefor couldn't be photographed.
I can't tell you the reason for the Livery on this C-20 but it gets my vote! I hope more VIP aircraft will receive it, but I doubt that.

Hey Hanske,

Nice to see some pics from you aswell.

About the fine, it is too bad, but still cheaper than in Holland ;)
Too bad aswell that it took us some quality time aswell. We were pulled over by the police twice and it cost us 20 euro AND half an hour quality time ;)

Anyway, we still had a great day.

Nice pics Hansmans. I like the last one best. You were probably anoyed by the fine, but look on the other hand ... the stinker wasn't in your car ... that has to be worth the 20 euro .. :lol: :lol: :lol: Next time I hope my back won't trouble me to go again.
In the meantime I'm enjoying the Greek sun, C27j's and C130's.

Grt, Mike.
