Forum rules
This 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.
Here some shots from. feb. 82. Lots of F-16's, and a starfighter which came to play the rabbit. Frysian flag tail stripes appears for te first time on the F-16's and looked pretty smart. But due to an order from the MOD in the Hague they had to be taken of again.(J-235,J-256,J-263,J-271)
Nice report! Bringing back good memories because at the same time I started spotting at Leeuwarden and the F-104G taxiing out with those colourful dart behind it was certainly my favorite aircraft! It was great to hear this aircraft while on its way to the runway and to see it depart with full afterburner...I will never forget this beauty!
It is the badge of the TCA, or Transitie en Conversie Afdeling, which trained the pilots in their transition from the F-104 to the F-16. Later this duty was taken over by a squadron.
I looked at the shots and thought, wow there is still snow in Leeuwarden until I scrolled further down and saw a F-104! Great quality of your scans and editing!
Hi .
Thanks for all the positive feedback,I use a CanoScan 8800F ( Like Dino van Doorn). at 2400dpi then I use photoshop CS2 to get the levels and colors right. most of the time I use autocolor but that can be "too much" So then color levels.Sometime the colors are too intense so to lower them I use Hue/satuniation(Kleurtoon/ verzadiging)After that Neat image to get the noise away. The slides were Kodachrome 25 or 64.
Again lots of thanks for the comments.
I love to see all your beautifull slides again!!
