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.

Hello,

@ Peter, great shot of the B-57! I wish I had it.... When we were racing my friend in the back got it in take of, I was hitting the brakes.... ;-(. Ennuh Piet, het is me het torentje wel ja....
Day 2 at Nellis was not to good, most a/c came in on the left site but we managed to get some shots anyway.
The H-60's flew a lot of missions.
Image
Anyone for the unit of this visitor???
Image

Altough not officially confirmed, your HH-60U 10-20322 probably belongs to 422nd TES.

(scramble wiki says: From 2011 on, the US Air Force operates a limited number of CSAR modified UH-60M's (Increment 1.5) as MH-60M. They will be modified to (Increment 2) HH-60U.)

Aha, thanks Dennis. We where hoping for some sort of special Groom Lake a/c :( .
After Nellis we went to Yuma the next morning but there was not to much activity (and we were unpatient).
Image

Image

Image
We heard nice stories from El Centro so we where there soon. First some Blue Angels flew (pitty of the short daylight time).
Image

Image
Soon after the BA stopped activity got high!
Image
Helicopters camer and left.
Image
More then a dozen F/A-18's took off!
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image
RAF Chinooks were active too!
Image
After sunset, 160th of a second....

Nice pics guys. Still going through 50Gb of pictures myself. The tower shots are always nice.

Hoi Patrick,

Were we sitting next to one another one the way out from base (driving with Ben)?

Cheers,

Sebastiaan.

He Sebastiaan & Antilian. It was nice 2 meet U2! In july again ;-)? I photoshop the pics a bit to fast it seems, not all the colours are 100%, sorry for that. Last Friday the 3rd we started at Yuma in the hope to catch the KD TAV-8’s and we managed. We also caught some visitors.

On our way back to Las Vegas we visited Nelson after sunset. We read 29 T-28’s! The guard tol dus the were sold to someone in Florida (Kermit?)
Image
From Vegas we flew to Portland. The B-17 is preserved in the south of this city in Oregon. Tomorrow more on Oregon.

little trip US. Day 9, Portland (Photo).

Post by stipjes »

On the last day of our trip we visited the splendid Evergreen Museum south of Portland in McMinniville. In total there were 90+ a/c there.
Image

Image

Image

Image
On the other site of the road is a storage area. The T-39 is one of them.
Image

Image
At the Portland IAP seven ORANG F-15’s were parked outside. Unfortunately 7 F/A-18’s came in.
Image

I hope you liked the trip report. 9 nice days of wrecks, relics and operational aircraft.
