Ahhmm. Probably not! Generally on Polish forums I could read that there was a lot of Polish people (those which write about it but how many others was I don't know). I wasn't set with anybody from this forum so I wear Fighter Collection baseball cap to be recognized just a little but without setting a metting it's nearly impossible :) If I only could know we could do a little sim meeting :)

 

BTW: Found those guys but it's not my game so I leave them unbeaten :joystick: :lol:

Sure, welcome to post your pictures here :)

 

Though I think you can get some more candy out of your pictures with some processing ;)

(allow me :D)

 

 

That's looking much better!

Thanks for pointing that out:), this was my first time shooting in RAW, so i have to get used to "tune" my

pictures more.

 

Oke, back to Iphoto/CS4:)

Nice videos Sawamura!

Looks like you were right next to me on Thursday, but I didn't see you.

 

I finally had time to review my photos, here are some from Friday.

The weather was poor, so not many action shots unfortunately...

 

1. The new AW-139 helicopter for the Dutch police

2. The Polish MiG-29UB was parked on static, because both airshow-qualified pilots were on QRA standby

3. A common sight on Dutch airshows is this Skyline Aviation L-39 Albatros

4. The 'Orange Lion' of the RNLAF F-16 Solo Display Team was parked on a special place, right at Display Center

And finally some from Saturday.

Due to wrong camera settings and changing conditions, my Saturday pics were a bit disappointing.

Here are some that I thought worth publishing.

 

1. P-51 'Damn Yankee' taking off

IMG_0795.jpg

 

2. SAR Demo with an AB-412SP

IMG_0991.jpg

 

3. This French C-160 was used as support for the Patrouille de France

IMG_1053.jpg

 

4. French Alpha Jet Solo Display landing after a nice display

IMG_1081.jpg

 

... And then it started to rain ...

 

5 and 6. The Czech JAS-39 Gripen takes off from a wet runway

IMG_1084.jpg

IMG_1087.jpg

 

6. After landing, a lot of smoke came out of the APU compartment

IMG_1121.jpg

 

7. The Belgian F-16 demoteam left for a show elsewhere, this is the spare aircraft blowing the runway dry

IMG_1136.jpg

 

8. Always an impressive sight: a low hovering AH-64D

IMG_1237.jpg

 

9. And then the sun came out, just long enough for the KDC-10 refuel demo

IMG_1252.jpg

 

10. 'Hitec' had to cope with some clouds again

IMG_1309.jpg

 

11. After his touch and go, one of his smokewinders caught fire for a moment

IMG_1355.jpg

 

12. Touchdown, deploying the chute

IMG_1381.jpg

 

13. Touchdown of the restored Hawker Hunter. It lost its drag-chute a moment before this picture was taken

IMG_1409.jpg

 

14. Patrulla Aspa fogging up the runway

IMG_1442.jpg

 

15. Two Spanish heli-pilots saying 'Hi'

IMG_1454.jpg

 

16. The Czech Mi-24 demo coming in for a hover over the runway
