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.

El Centro a few weeks ago

Post by MyOneOFour »

Our third day in the States brought us to El Centro. The sunday before we did a recon and saw that the place was packed with aircraft so we stayed at El Centro. The next day (monday) it turned out that the East-coast RFS (VFA-106 "Gladiators") was present as well as the West-coast RFS (VFA-122 "Flying Eagles"). Also some Goshawks from Kingsville (TW-2) where on the scene. Here is a little impression:

F/A-18F 166961/NJ-151 belonging to VFA-122 takes a sharp turn

T-45C Goshawk 165635/B-281 Taxiing towards the last chance

F/A-18D 164263/AD-440 is with VFA-106

F/A-18B (!!) 162857/AD-423 is one of only a few B's still active

T-45C 165633/B-201 with only one pilot. A spotters' nightmare. I could sit there !

F/A-18E 166872/NJ-210

Full c/s on 166467/AD-206

Nice paint on T-45C 167100/B-322

And a last one from behind is Super Hornet 165672/AD-205
