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.

Allright thanks again for the info sofar and your willingness to help out! No immidiate plans to go that side of the states soon, but I made a note so I can contact you in the future! It's one of the last ANG units I seek to complete my collection.

I'll gladly await the next bunch of pictures!

Wow Peter,

some of the best shots I've seen from the U.S. in quite a long time. Especially the ones from your visit to McEntire. There are not many pictures out on the web from McEntire. It would be nice to see more of them.

As said, I spend 15 days in the US I will show some of the shots taken during this trip. Bases visitted in following order: NAS Oceana Airshow 2011, NAS Norfolk , Langley AFB , MAS Cherry Point, Seymour Johnson AFB, Shaw AFB, McEntire JANG, MCAS Beaufort, Savannah IAP, Moody AFB, Tyndall AFB, Jacksonville IAP, NAS Jacksonville,NAS Mayport and NAS Cecil Field.
