F16 of the Belgian Air Component.

Those are nice Bob. The third one is my favorite. Nice catch.

The F16 of the Royal Netherlands Air force is certainly colorful.

The EF100-400L is a nice lense but I think I would have a hard time getting used to the push and pull. Maybe not.

Superb shots Bob!
Hard to pick a favourite but if my arm was twisted I'd say No.3.

Awesome set of pics, thoroughly enjoyed those Cool

...but why have the Dutch put a web address on the missile? Who do they think will read it as it hurtles at Mach 2 towards some people that are about to die? Laughing

Cheers everyone. Smile

@ Attila: Closest we get to Russian kit is the Mig-29 Fulcrum and Mil Mi-24 Hind operated by the Polish Air Force. Mig 29 has displayed twice and the Hind once and both were awesomely epic displays. Best Mig 29 display segment was when the aircraft did a touch and go, the pilot slewed it round just off the ground such that the engines were facing the crowdline and then hit full afterburner and straight up into the sky. Totally stupendous if you like that sort of thing. Laughing

@ Rolf & Orio: Thanks guys but it's just another string to the amateur photographic bow in addition to landscapes and plant life.

@ Graham: Could be the modern equivalent of a luggage label with 'if lost please return to sender' inscribed on it...
