Forum rules
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.

Leeuwarden, first Raptors

Post by Frank »

Hi all

Today we welcomed the 4 F-22 Raptors in The Netherlands. As they landed at Leeuwarden AFB ar around 13:30, it was the first time those special birds landed in our country. Being on Sunday with beautiful autumn weather, it caused a lot of people to come Friesland. It was great to see so many friends and say hi to them again.

Serials:
02 C-17A HAW
05-4090/AK F-22A 90th FS,
05-4103/AK F-22A 90th FS,
06-4110/AK F-22A 11th AF,
09-4190/AK F-22A 90th FS,


Here some impressions
