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.

The day before yesterday I went to Uden, to buy a second hand Yupiteru MVT-7100. Ofcourse I made a few-hours-visit @ EHVK.

Some nice crafts (8 F-16's, a Herc and a KDC-10) showed-up. However, some bad-ass clouds showed-up too.

Note: nothing has been cropt or shopt

1. Hello to you too :D !

2.

3. I noticed every F-16 took off with full AB. Is this a normal procedure, or was I just lucky?
Image

4. RRRAWRRR!
Image

5. Unforunately the 55-years sticker in't that beautiful anymore. Peeled off a bit :(
Image

6. Simple math: wet taxiway + F-16= a thirsty viper:
Image

7. And a few T&G's where made by the G-275

Regards,
Sven

Oke, tnx for the info. You say with the two wingtanks configuration, but all the Dutch F-16's fly with this configuration...?

In the morning some other (Dutch) F-16 and a Belgian F-16 flew, the Herc made a few T&G's too. However, I arrived on the field arround 12.00u. To late to see them...
