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.

The Indian's arrive at Coningsby

Post by dinger »

The long awaited return of the Su-30MKI's of the Indian Air Force did not disappoint. Almost 8 years since their last visit to Lincolnshire, they have arrived back for a two week stay. Sadly, the C-130J didn't catch the best of light but the other arrivals couldn't have turned out better.

The heavies departed to Brize Norton and the fighters remain at Coningsby parked and easily visible on the VAHS ramp.
