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.

Those two Typhoons landed together or were they photographed during take-off?

Hey Patrick, you beat me to it, I see! Good shots, not bad for a fifteen minute visit in the landing at CBY :)

Nice pics Pat! 8)

But, without wanting to sound too pessimistic, Saudi Tornados used to be tenfold more beautiful in their old camo.... :(

The Saudis did paint all their beautyfully camouflaged Tornado IDS in this boring grey by now?
Now the look almost exactly like RAF ones with the exception of a few inches of green national insignia ...
Nevertheless - great pictures!
