Re: Restored RCAF "Golden Hawks" F-86 Sabre

I assume the chances for these Canadians to come to Europe are very very small... :( Chances are very slim indeed due to the range of the aircraft and the fact that its flown by a not-for-profit group so finances are tight i'm sure. I'm sure that some who remember the days of Canadian F-86 flying o...

Re: Restored RCAF "Golden Hawks" F-86 Sabre

Nice colorschemes and nice aircraft! One comment: you really have to check your focus. Most of the pictures seem to be very soft and out of focus. Do you use manual or autofocus? If I were you I would really try to fix this in order to improve the quality of the shots. If I remember correctly you w...

Re: To post or not to post?

Scramble came to my attention when i came to Leeuwarden Last June for open dagen. I dont have many posts he...

In the mean time i will keep trying to tweak my shots and will post more here and get some feedback. I think i also need to ...
