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 Dino,

thanks for the update, but I know they stopped flying the Mirage some years ago.
I was just expressing my surprise when I suddenly saw the Mirage appearing on the taxiway.
I was not aware they would perform a test run with it (nor did I know they would first fly it after 3 years the next day - 9th).

Always liked going to Switzerland.
Like the 'low angle' on F-5F J-3212. The other pics are of very fine quality too. Thanks for sharing, nice to look at. :D
