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.

No shield there... :lol: it has an empty back seat (such a shame... volunteers enough!) and the danger triangle and the markings on the intake of XX285 are visible through the bent canopy... :wink:

As stated in the other topic, the F-84F behind FR-29 (and barely visible in your pic) is FU-108.
