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 preceding pictures already implied it...It was a rainy & dull weather at the time of taking the pictures at Volkel.
From one hand it was making the situation difficult in order to manage to take a good picture. On the other hand it gives extra glare on some parts of the photo.
Nevertheless, I would like to share some pictures with you with next ones I made:

What we heard yesterday was that they wanted to fly the J-015 to Leeuwarden. But since Leeuwarden was closed it returned to Volkel. This all happened yesterday evening. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hi guys,

Very nice shots! I was there to yesterday, embedded with 313sq.
The weather was dry but when the early evening wave started also the rain started again but nevertheless the boys from 311/313 and 312sq did a great job to fly more than 12 different F-16s!

The J-015 will go the Leeuwarden they will take over de F-16 Orange-demo for the next two years...

Regards,

Maurits

Hi,

Some shots of mine, starting with J-866 in take off in a grey and almost rainy sky.
Image
J-009 was this evening ''our plane'', with a very friendly pilot. He flew that evening 1v1 missions against Lakenheath Eagles...
Here it returns from the first wave and is pulled back into the hangar by a crewchief.
Image
J-009 is waiting for the nightmission..
Image
Image
Two minutes before taxi out....
Image
Some J-009 nightshots in front of the shelter.
Image
Image
After the mission the AN/ALQ-131 + Litening pod were removed. The viper was picked up by a small tractor that pulled him to the wash hangar.
