Forum rules
This 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.
They delay the separation of airflow thus making the wing more effective and more stable. Many planes have them. Because of their size they are also often refrred to as 'business cards'
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.

Could be, however most vortex generators are mounted (fixed position) on the leading edge side of the wings and not, like seen here, on the trailing edge of the flight spoilers (acting as speedbrake and stability improver).
I used to get shots from the desert of the B-1s taking-off on night missions, but as everyone and their dog seems to do that nowdays, I decided to try a side on approach. This was way harder than shooting from underneath, which was unexpected.
