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.

Hi,
as I am not aware why these are so "nice"as you mentioned, I was wondering who will become the new customer of these birds.

Thats a suprise indeed, woah. Albeit it is a pity that the Tzukit will be disbanded from operational services.

We noticed the taped-off roundels when we saw them at Oostende; somehow I don't think they took that tape off of one side of the aircraft, leaving the ones on the other side on... :wink:

But, granted, they look al lot smarter WITH their roundels! 8)

:D best regards,

Stephan

Yep, I was told they removed the white stuff in southern Italy. So next time we have to take pictures of them there I gues?

Oz
