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.

No, sorry, a Green one:

The 'tooms were less active than hoped, but they are due to be joined by the survivors from Nyutabaru, before becoming the operational F-35 base. There was quite some F-15 activity, but no-one cares about those, right?

Touchdown ..

This was quite a quiet day (just after national holiday). Apparently it can get more interesting in February when the Aggressor Eagles visit to play.

Nice shots! I like pictures like these.

Do you have any idea when in February the Aggressor Eagles will visit Hyakuri?
