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.

After worked for 1 hour today (couldn't resist to take the day off :wink: ) I went to Gilze-Rijen for the F-16 demo and the arrival of the AN-124. Sadly the Antonov didn't make it to Gilze-Rijen (I think his fuel went low above Eindhoven :P ) but luckely there was plenty of flying activity of some Apaches, Chinooks and ofcourse the demo rehearsal of the F-16 (2x).
Let me start with some pictures from the homebased Apaches and Chinooks:

A really low fly-by of an Apache:

Image

CH-47D Chinook:

Nose down to gain some speed:
Image

Image

Some heavy lifting:
Image

AH-64D returning home:
Image

And finally, some pictures of the F-16 Demo rehearsal, taken from the 'slopes' spot:
Image

Image

As usually, I hope you enjoy!
Comments for how to improve my pictures are always welcome!

Some from my side, not very stunning...

1. Saw this one being towed from the Chinook area, probably for the Antonov that never showed up:

2. Ralph in his element:

3. Mean machine:

4. Not the best pic, but only to show you guys; how low can you go!:
Image

5. I like those Harvards, I really do:

Yeah, you're absolutely right. I'll bring my gear this week to the store so they can clean it (again....). My autofocus wasn't even working properly today because of the dust on the sensor!

Dust on the sensor doesn't affect the working of the autofocus system. Dust on your (sub)mirror however can be a bit tricky.

Newsflash:

GILZE-RIJEN - Terwijl de discussie over de Joint Strike Fighter als zijn opvolger nog volop woedt, nam een F-16 gisterochtend bezit van het luchtruim boven vliegbasis Gilze-Rijen.

Vliegtuigspotters, bewapend met telelenzen, lieten zich het buitenkansje niet ontgaan. Ook vandaag oefent solovlieger Ralph Aarts tussen 11 en 11.30 uur en tussen 14.30 en 15 uur, voor de demonstratievluchten tijdens de vliegerinformatiedagen. Die staan morgen en vrijdag op het programma, eveneens op Gilze-Rijen.
