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.

That's a very rare Orion you catched there, it's equipped with the Littoral Surveillance Radar System (LSRS) in VP-40 markings.

Nope the one you've posted in an Airofrce Chinook and the one posted earlier is from the Army.
It was a great show at Seoul. Cheers Rene
