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.

Nice air-to-air!

But I guess the Kfirs were the real stars of this Red Flag... :wink:

I'm pretty sure I've seen F-16's in this scheme on the internet more than a year ago. If I remember correctly these pictures were never of frontline/operational F-16's, but factory- or air force testbeds.

It's is the same paint as used by the Spang F-16's and called 'Have Glass' paint. Supposedly, it has a steath-like function. In the beginning it was used by Edwards F-16's for testing in relation to the JSF development.
