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.

Jos,

Again some beautiful shots from Volkel. You are one of the best aviation photographers in Holland to my opinion ;)
The one with snow is definitly my favourite.

This is a very good photographic series. Not just normal spotters pictures.
Too bad you did not number them to pick some special ones.

Hi Jos! Certainly a great collection with lots of original "new" angles, there is definitely some poster/wall material between these!
Great to see people pick up a more "photographic" way of shooting instead of the "standard" stuff I usually shoot!
Keep them coming!

Very nice shots!!!!

Everone of them is a stunner!!!

What happend to the AWACS, I guess the smoke drifted in front of the moon only??? The a/c itself did not cross the moon?
