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.

Colombian teaser at Davis Monthan, plus some extras

Post by Bjorn van der Flier »

First stop wat Tuscon International Airport, which we saw this recently though somewhat different painted Dutch F-16
Image

Then to DM where not least than 7!! BD A-10s arrives, with ferry tanks.
Image

Then this very welcome Nellis test bird, note the black wings underside
Image

Then Finally the Colombian B767 came in, the 707 remained at the platform together with 4 KFIRs
Image

And then when the KFIRs were still out, disaster struck when they changed runway direction, so we had to race to the other side of the airfield, and 5 minutes after arriving, EUREKA!!!!!
Image

Hope you liked them, log will follow the next upcoming days..

grtz

Nice Bjorn, especially the Kfir! Does 'our' F-16 still have its Dutch roundel (hidden behind the wing)?

We knew they were there, I heard last saturday that they were coming to work up to the Red Flag.. So I had to take a day off from work to get there... With the A-10s we were just lucky...

Cool stuff indeed. The BD A-10's are most likely on their way to Hickam, HI for the upcoming Rimpac exercise.

(PS About the colors of the KLu F-16: there was already a topic with pictures of this aircraft a few months back. Then too, the slightly off-standard colors were discussed)
