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 like'em Rob! you caught me with that first shot from the Tucano. My first thought was: What! How the h... did he crossed the ocean? Then I saw the small N-number under the tail and I smiled; Thanks! :-)

It's sold by the RAF and now a warbird in the States. It seems they are allowed to keep the RAF-outfit and the N-registration is its new ID.

Why would it be any different for a Tucano than for all those Bulldogs, Chipmunks and even Hunters and Gnats flying around in RAF colours?

Hmmm....maybe. But wasn't that the same for the Bulldogs, some time ago? Both operational and civil ones flying around in RAF colours?
