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.

Glad to see these new Chinooks retain the more formal looking classic fonts, rather than the informal 'happy' round fonts used on the KLu's Herc- and DC.10 fleets!!

Well, as this was the first handover of a CH-47F from DMO (Dienst Materieel Organisatie) to the CLSK (Commando LuchtStrijdKrachten) it wouldn't surprise me a bit...
She is "Head of the Air Transport, Unmanned Aircraft and Tanker Branch & WSE bij Defence Material Organisation/Air Systems" nowadays, right? :wink:

Some very nice photography considering the circumstances, BTW! :D
