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.

Finnish Hawks at Leeuwarden, 3 October 2011

Post by Hans Rolink »

Seen staging through Leeuwarden on their way back to Finland from Cazaux, France were six Hawk T.50's of the Finnish Air Force.
Below, two of them taking off after their fuel stop.

Nice picture of the camo one Hans. Didn't expect the Hawks to stay this low at take off.
So I only got them while landing.

Thanks!
Staying around until departure paid off. I did that because of the bad light during arrival. I had wanted to go to Marnewaard straight away to catch the helicopters which I also got in the end.

I was there when the finnish were on the way to cazaux, the weather was good at that day but the Hawks were al banking to the right.
I was hoping for a nice turn like they did by Hans
