Hello all,
I visited the hall this morning to catch this classic yet very rare jet. There were some serious winds when it was on final approach as "Cobra 67" which resulted in a go around to the delight of the photographers. She landed successfully on the second attempt

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. |

Clear blue but very windy sky. And as the first picture shows, one of the few C-135 variant examples still flying with "real engines"...
Thanks for putting them up on this forum!

Incredible, except for the B-52 I did not know there was still other hardware flying around with these smokers under their wings.
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.
