Hi Erik.
If only all my spam was as interesting as this I would be ok with it!
Another great series of shots, thanks.

Cheers, Graham.

Can't wait to see your 3000 blurred pictures (at least those would bring back some of my confidence
the ones you posted are just too high quality again... :'( )

Alright, what about these? ;D I think I have already deleted most of the blurred..

Hi Click. The pitot covers seem to develop to some kind of bizarre art, here are more

Hi Erik, I'm so glad that even you do not score a 100% hit-rate
... apparently you are human after all ;D 8)

Now I might be brave enough to dig up one of my meagre attempts - just to be criticized

cheers, Wiebe

You're a very good spammer.

I love the combination aircrafts, photography and spamming ;D Thanks Click, Steve, Zim, Roo and Graham
Wiebe, please go ahead and dig up your pictures.

Here are some pictures from inside a top secret signal intelligence plane.. Fortunately it is decommisioned now, otherwise I would end up in jail ;D Swedish Air Force Sud SE-210 Caravelle III 'TP85', in service 1972-1999. On display at Flygvapenmuseum Linköping. Now and then they have a guided tour, it needs to be booked months in advance though.. Guide Jan Henrysson

Yet more Spam Erik, I don't know what we should do to stop this menace! ;D
I bet that was a fascinating tour to see what used to pass as top secret. I went to Bletchley Park (home of the WWII code breakers) a while back and it was absolutely amazing.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks Graham, Bletchley Park sounds very interesting
The spam problem is solved for a while, need to produce new pictures 8) Oh, maybe I have a few pictures of a SK61 Beagle B 125 Bulldog.. and a sharp pic of the deHavilland DHC-1 Chipmunk ;D

Very nice series, Erik.

Hi Erik.
Another very nice series of shots, only one observation, I think the first shot is the wrong way up as the pilots tie is not hanging across his face and there is no stuff (maps, sweet wrappers etc) sitting on the inside of the canopy which surely it would be if he were flying inverted! : ;D ;D

Cheers, Graham.

Very nice series, Erik.

Hi Erik,
nice series again, the Bulldog going through a roll

For contrast I'll attach a Dornier Do-228 of the Dutch Coast-guard; slow, no aerobatics, predictable course so a good match for my capabilities 8)
Next time there is an airshow near where I live I really have to go ...

Nice shot Wiebe - not an aircraft we see much of down here

After Erik's posts I was having some aircraft photography withdrawals and took myself off to the RAAF Museum yesterday...

Well done Roo, you managed to keep your pictures relatively uncluttered - which is a huge achievement in most museums...

[Erik X]

Hi Graham! Noo.. you can make a barrel roll with positive load factor all way through, that will keep all your loose stuff safely on the floor and the tie in proper place ;D
The picture of the Jak-52 in a rainshower below looks really strange though, I have no memory of holding the camera upside down.. Why did the daylight hit the underside : And what is the plastic bag doing in the rear part of the cabin? A pilot briefcase would be ok, but a plastic bag..

...only one observation, I think the first shot is the wrong way up as the pilots tie is not hanging across his face and there is no stuff (maps, sweet wrappers etc) sitting on the inside of the canopy which surely it would be if he were flying inverted! : ;D ;D

Good job Wiebe, perfectly sharp... The weather is difficult to do something about
I flew in a DO-228 many years ago, I still remember the astonishing climb performance

Nice series Roo, that Vampire would look great in the sky, sunset.. minimum altitude :

Absolutely!

Thanks Wiebe and Erik

Here are a few more from the main exhibition. Would you prefer to shoot this Vampire near sunset at minimum altitude - the target tug "bumble bee" scheme is is a standout.

 

[Erik X]

Really nice photos, Roo. The information signs are a bit difficult to read but except from that I would say that sharpness is perfect... I hope the crew of the Aermacchi MB-326 is allowed to take a break now and then ;D

I had no idea that Piper J-3 Cub was approved for aerobatics bit it did so at the Eksjö airshow :

 

[Click]

Roo and Erik,

Very nice pictures, guys. 8)

I especially like the first of the J-3 pictures.

A 3/4 scale Mustang replica flying at Eksjö flygdag. It is not the real thing but why not..

 

[Click]

It's only 3/4 fun. ;D

Nice pictures, Erik.

 

[Erik X]

It's only 3/4 fun. ;D

3/4 is definitely better than nothing ;D I'm sure it is more affordable than the original

Yes indeed
