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.

Here are a few of the locals and some visitors at Fort Smith during my first day in the area. This is a fantastic place and the locals are a friendly and helpful group as well.

Many thanks. I also managed to photograph the preserved aircraft within the ANG compound. I never saw the F-84 during my visit. Do you happen to know the serial of the F-100? I never managed to read it off.
