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.

If you compare the Dutch and the USAF Vipers, the Dutch ones are looking in a very bad shape/state. The USAF ones lookes much better maintenanced.

But the Pics are f-ing Nice!

Thanks! I agree, the birds are looking kind a weary. Our Vipers are living outside these days. No shelters or sun shed. No nothing! The US birds as well though... But some paint helps 8)

The state of the paint doesn't say anything about the maintenance done on the aircraft.

This way the Dutch MoD can turn to parliament and say: "See how bad the shape is of our F-16s?!! Give us a new JSF!" :evil:
