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.

I love the F-5, and also the F-15 is just astonishing-looking!! Great to see one of the F-4's losing much of its glossy finish, making the colors look a lot more realistic!! 8)

And the flight of F-86's takes you way back to the Korean War, great sight!!

(I think you doubleposted your last picture)

F-4E from Holloman and Tyndall
Very nice shots - must have been awesome to see 3 F-86s in one formation!

Just a minor correction, *both* QF-4Es are from Detachment 1 at Holloman AFB - despite the TD tail.

The 82nd ATRS has been shifting Phantoms from Tyndall ("TD") to Det 1. at Holloman ("HD") to balance the fleet across both bases, but those aircraft retain their "TD" codes.
So far, Det 1. is only operating QF-4Es, it has no QRF-4Cs yet.

Det 1 has four Heritage birds (all SEA), two of which have HD codes and two of which are ex Tyndall Phantoms and have TD codes.
And additionally, there is one TD coded QF-4E in Egypt One colours, with a bright red tail and "Team Target" markings, that also belongs to Det 1.
(Not a Heritage jet).
