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.

My first visit to Wittmundhafen last Tuesday. The weather wasn't great with some rain and overcast skies. A heavy thunderstorm at the end of the day forced some F-4F's ready for take-off, back to their HAS.

Despite the weather nice shots of the Boelcke Tornado, the "two Hornets in one image" and the smoking Phantom in take off, Geert.

What's up with the 5010 and 5005 next to eachother? They seem to be smoking out of their wing or something? Probably something common but I've never seen it.

I've seen that lots of times with Hornets. Don't know off-hand what it is.

It is fuel. It comes out as the plane releases its brakes. Sort of an overload pressure release system.
Don't steal my pictures...
