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.

G'day Guys,

I've been so busy lately that I forgot to stop by and say hello. :wave:

We've had some very welcome and interesting visitors down here (at Williamtown, Australia) for the past few weeks.

For the first couple of weeks we were treated to the sight of these guys;

Hello Motty,

do you know if there will be another US deployment during October? At the Amberley air show USAF F-15 (s?) are expected, and I was wondering if they just came over for the show or if they are already in the area?

regards,

Michel

Thanks for your kind comments guys. Glad you like the photos.

Here are some more from this week for your enjoyment.

Michel, I doubt there will be another deployment in October just for the Amberley show. Usually the USAF just sends the display aircraft for the display and that's all.

It seems unusual to see this structure under the airbrake.
