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.

KAFW Alliance TX on 8-17-2013

Post by davechng »

We got quite a good day on 8-17-2013 in KAFW Ft worth Alliance. Was hoping for some F-16 from our local sqdrn but 2 weeks in the row on the sat and they did not fly. Just my luck.
Got into a great day when 3 VMFA 542 from Beaufort MCAS came in on Fri... got news they are going to leave the SAt Afternoon....We caught them engine up and doin all the preflights.... taxi by us and do short field take off ...

Although the lighting conditon was kind of bad when those Harriers power up the engine ...... oh well we shoot what we can..... :(


Other traffic include a KC-135 from March AFB.... 2 Laughlin T6 take off .... one did some touch and go options ....
C-130 from ROpers from the local TX ANG came in to land
Navy VC9 came in to land and took off after the HArriers.
Enjoy!

You're lucky in the US military jets fly on most Saturdays...we don't get to be so lucky in Europe! :wink:

Nice pics, thanks for sharing!
