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.

Small questions usually get long answers.
Did you try the Flugausstellung Hermeskeil in Germany? they have a nice collection of seats.

Hi...

I think the Military Aviation Museum Soesterberg might be able to help you out.
Just give them a call...
All the best for 2009.

Grtz.

I don´t know too much of ejection seats, so I am not sure this is the one you are looking for, but I´ll give it a try:

http://www.seatejectcolor.com/seat/sedi ... c/f84f.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Another good site is:

I hope this helps,

On the left the seat from the F-84F, on the right the seat from a T-33A. Shot at Traditiekamer Typhoon, Volkel.
