Throwback to Hahnweide, and what an amazing event Throwback to Hahnweide, and what an amazing event it was. Not part of the regular flying program that day, but the P-51D Mustang "Frances Dell" of @flyinglegendscollection stole the show when it arrived on Friday evening just in time for a gorgeous sunset. This photo even made it to 'Photo of the Year' in the @geramond_geschichte Yearbook 2025 - #p51 #p51dmustang #p51mustang #sunset🌅 #hahnweide #ott25 #otthahnweide #airshow #warbird #warbirdphotography #photooftheyear #warbirdlovers

AMK for P4E! Today the German parliament gave gree AMK for P4E! Today the German parliament gave green light to equip P4E Eurofighters with the Aerodynamic Modification Kit (AMK). This includes LERX (Leading Edge Root eXtension), extended fuselage strakes and extended flaperons. Together with software changes this will facilitate future weapon integration and make the platform even more agile. AMK was test flown on IPA7 already a few years ago and I have had the big chance to take some air-air photos during one of those test flights. Photos were taken out of the open ramp of a C-160 Transall. It is great to see this modification coming to the Luftwaffe for their future Eurofighters! #eurofighter @martin.aguera @eurofighter.typhoon #amk #luftwaffe #air2air @bavarian_tigers #eurofightertyphoon #typhoon

Oh, and did I mention that these are the Bavarian colours as well... 😊 @bundeswehr @pilatusaircraft #pc12 #pilatus #pilatuspc12 #wtd61 #flighttest

Autumn means kick-off of the night flying season. Autumn means kick-off of the night flying season. My hopes were to catch WTD61's special colored Panavia Tornado a bit earlier at dusk. When it took off, it was nearly pitch black for the eye and ISO settings nearly at the max. But despite the grain, I like the motive and the thundering afterburner, which is always quite a sight! Sometimes it's not about the pure image quality, but the motive, and night photography always stretches the technical limitations of today's cameras. #tornado #panavia #luftwaffe #afterburner #reheat #nightphoto #nightphotography #panaviatornado

I did not get any Tigers (anymore), but the @fightersqn11_fanpage Tiger Jet in front of colored trees was very nice. @andi_eschkenasoff @virtualfliegerstaffel11 @swisshornetdisplayteam @swissairforce #switzerland #swissairforce #meiringen @gemeinde.meiringen @haslital.berneroberland #haslital #meiringen #hornet #f18c #f18hornet #lowlevel
NATO Days 2025 were a blast! It was hard to choose NATO Days 2025 were a blast! It was hard to choose the first photo to post, but the biggest surprise for me was the 'new kid in town', a brand new Slovak Air Force F-16. Originally announced as a fly-by, I was expecting a two ship formation doing some passes along the runway. In the end, a single jet showed up, but performed a mini display. This was also the Slovak's first international airshow appearance, and I am sure more, and a longer display, will follow, after what they have presented at Ostrava! #natodays @natodays #dnynato #ostrava #airshow #slovakia #slovakairforce #f16 #f16fightingfalcon #afterburner #vapor #reheat @airforcesmonthlymagazine #sliac

Flashback to a hot and sandy day along the Sidewin Flashback to a hot and sandy day along the Sidewinder low level route earlier this yet. This was easily my most demanding photo shoot yet, driving through the night and empty dessert, followed by hours waiting in the heat and sandstorms, but finally, there she was... a Luftwaffe TORNADO 🔥 doing what it can do best, wings fully swept at 67° and coming in low and fast. #sidewinder #r2508 #lowlevelphotography #lowlevel #lowlevelflying #sidewinder #sidewinderlowlevel #jetsinthewild #tornado #panaviatornado #51tigers #natotigers #luftwaffe @team_luftwaffe @freundeskreis_luftwaffe_e.v @panavia.tornado.pictures @steve.lewis.photography @lookunderocks @51tigersschleswig #schleswig #jagel #tornadoecr #ecrtornado #pilotslife #lowandfast #wingsfullyswept #wingsweeper @wingsweeper @chrissi_tx322 @grisu322 @martin.aguera @philippetondeur2
Double pack - an F-35A and F-35B of the Italien AF Double pack - an F-35A and F-35B of the Italien AF 32 Stormo. Their display at Rivolto was a big surprise for me and catching them in this way absolutely made my day, even though the event was the celebration of the 65th anniversary of the Frecce Tricolori display team. It would be cool if @aeronautica.militare would consider setting this up as an F-35 Display Team in the Future. There is a big potential in bringing these two versions of the lightning together.#rivolto #rivoltoairbase #freccetricolori #freccetricolore✈️🇮🇹 #ami #italianairforce #frecce #f35 #f35a #f35b @freccetricolori #frecce65 #udine @philippetondeur2 #airshow #airshowphotography #airshows @aeronautica_officialstore #freccetricolori65 #pan #instaavia #planeporn #instaaviationphotography #instaaviation
