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.

Very nice looking shots Stefan, Hornet looks very cool, and the "lying on the tarmac" shot of the Harrier has a good impact.
Groet,

I finally found some time to process my pictures from the great 4Aviation trip to Nevada, California and Arizona.

Hereby my El centro collection:
The Canadian send there 410TFS from CFB Cold Lake to El Centro for a three week live-bombing deployment.

A single Osprey from MCAS Miramar came by for some approaches:

At least 7 Goshawks were present:

No less than 9 USMC Harriers for a lunch stop:

Navy Hornets, total of ten were present!!!

No Carrier ops without the Greyhound :-)

Prowler action, VAQ-129 was on training as well. Did they start the training with 9 of these beauties, during our visit only three were present:

The RAF was present with no less than three Chinooks (and a single Apaches was parked in their Hangar)
