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.

Nice shots (and planes) indeed. Just one question about the 161367. As there are several Hornets around Pax River, is this the one just behind the gate? Here.

There is another one on the stick right next to VX-23 hangars. However photography there is prohibited.

Yes, that's the one. You can't see it from the street unless you are driving on the base.
There is about 15 preserved airplanes on the base. However, only F-14 and that Hornet can be photographed. The remaining birds are in the photo sensitive areas.
You can see two Hornets right next to the fence as you drive on the public road.
