Joe Kurr Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 This weekend I visited the RNLAF Open Days at Volkel Airbase, in the Netherlands, and afterwards I drove to Geilenkirchen for the NATO Open House there. I'm still sifting through all 1468 pictures I made this weekend, but have already finished the ones from last Thursday, traditionally the arrival day for the RNLAF Open Days.

Joe Kurr Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Here are some pics from Friday, the first of the two official open days. The weather was quite bad in the morning, with a very low cloudbase, resulting in rather dark and gray pictures, but lots of vapour coming off the aircraft. The Belgian F-16 pulls some 9G turns, generating clouds of vapour above the aircraft Paul Rorive shows one more time how to take off in a Fouga Magister Dutch F-16, reg J-018, seconds before it suffered a birdstrike and performed an emergency landing Two Hawker Hunters, flown by the Swedish Hunter Flying Group An Extra-300L of the excellent demoteam The Blades is refuelled for its next flight Over 60 years old, but still going strong, the DC-2 'the Uiver' Two Breitling Team L-39s cross in front of the crowd The Swiss PC-7 Team, with the Swiss F-18C Hornet behind them The RAF CH-47D Chinook performing a wheelie, backwards Dutch Flanker Display Team | LLTM 2010 Tiger Spirit Award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm.i Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 Nice pictures! I was there at sunday. Not as nice as last year, but still very cool. Too bad the Patrouille de France cancelled it's show :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Kurr Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 I think you mean Saturday ;) Apart from some departures, there were no flights at all on sunday. I found it a weird decision to give the PdF take-off clearance in the first place, with such an active thunderstorm just around the corner.

Joe Kurr Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 @Laud: Actually there were two JaBoG32 Tornados, the one on that picture left in the afternoon, just after the other came in. @Invicta: Nice pics! Did you only go on Saturday, or also on Friday? I have finished processing all my pictures, here are some from Saturday: The French C-160 Transall, which provided the support for the Patrouille de France People from Cross-Service remove a liquid oxigen tank from the Mirage 2000 The Swiss F-18C has folded its wings to fit on the picture :) Close-up on a PC-7 from the Swiss PC-7 Team This F-16, wearing the 55 year anniversary paint of 312Sqn, took part in the Airpower Demo The Blades performing their "Crazy Formation" Formation fly-by with 13 F-16s A Mirage 2000 can also come in handy if you need shelter from the rain :) The Dutch F-16 Solo Display comes in for a touch and go Smokin'! "The Last Whistling Turtle" has landed on Dutch soil for the very last time The Turkish Stars take off for their demo Watch out for oncoming traffic!

Roi Danton Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Nice shots! I'm still sifting through all 1468 pictures I made this weekend:surprise: I'm glad that i only have CF Cards with a total amount of 3GB so I can't take more than thousand pics during travelling. ;) How satisfied you are with your Sony A100? E.g. this photo looks quite blue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm.i Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Yes I did mean saturday ;). Nice pictures for sure! Do you have some more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Kurr Posted June 20, 2007 Author Share Posted June 20, 2007 The A-100's image quality could be better, it's a bit grainy sometimes, but this could also be the result of some setting in the camera. I really like the image stabilizer, which lets you take sharp pictures with shutter speeds as long as 1/15 seconds if you have a steady hand. The image stabilizer also doubles as an anti-dust system, which shakes the sensor when the camera is switched off, removing most (not all) dust particles on the sensor. The main reason for me to choose the A-100 was the price, as my previous set was stolen, and I didn't have the money for a new EOS-20D. For about 850 Euros I got the body plus two lenses, one 18-70mm and one 75-300mm, and it feels better than e.g. an EOS-400D, which I think is too small and too light. The colors on some pics might be a bit off, that's because I edited them a bit to compensate for the less than ideal light conditions, but I'm color blind, so keeping the colors right is a bit difficult for me :) Dutch Flanker Display Team | LLTM 2010 Tiger Spirit Award Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
