Here follows almost 50 pics from Artic Tiger, taken at the "spotters' day". Most of them are of F-16, and supposing most will be tired after half of the F-16 pics, those are posted at the end; to make everybody watch every type of aircraft Smiley Theese images were taken during the "takeoff-wave". Another series was taken when they taxied in after landing, but might be postet later on. I flew with the #692 once and it is therefore a pleasure seeing they have painted just that one for the Artic Tiger meet 2007. I'm not really good at remembering "foreign" fighter types so correct me if I'm wrong!

If there is any interest I might also add the series of shots taken of the taxiing in after landing!

Hind


A7


Rafale






Mirage








Hornet




F-16
























Thanks for watching Smiley

OK, so I was going to say something about self-moderation and don't post too many pictures in one thread, etc., but at least 90% of these are just great. So I really don't care all of a sudden. Just trying to collect my jaw from the keyboard...

Great lighting, great subjects, great AB, great schemes, the only comment I can think of is, OK, now we know all about the landing-gear retraction cycle of the F-16 Wink. Wish I'd been there!

Thanks for sharing and keep them coming, as far as I'm concerned. Or maybe team-up with some other FCs to write / compile an article (were Kev and ChrisM there as well?).

Despite being basically reserved, the Dutch have a manner of speaking that may startle you by its directness. They look you right in the eye and can sound very abrupt.

Haha, yeah I believe you found my weak side, regarding self-moderation when posting photos! Another thread coming up; guess I'll have to work on it when posting the next one... norwegian threads posting those other pics (part two) has more than 50 pics... I'll reduce the numbers to about 20 so it fits the requirements of another english forum  Afro

Thank you for your comments!

Ok, so since you were so nice commenting the first post: here comes another one! This series of shots is taken when the aircraft taxied after landing, passing the spotters, stopping/posing, and some even turned around 360 degrees so show off with their tiger-scheme... Some of the pics are commented by myself, some are not...

The following pics have been limited to 20. If anyone would like to see more, visit http://forum.scanair.no/read.php?TID=22172 and disregard any confusing Norwegian text Wink

A-7 - the only one I managed to photograph because they taxied in just as we arrived with the bus.


























A bonus for us... a C-21 arrived after doing some touch-and-go training.


The best tail!


My pride Wink









Thank you for watching! That's what they're here for!

Thank you... I just wish I received the tip about this site earlier so I'd "know" some of you who came to Ørland! Now well... I talked to several other spotters that day, even one from Israel - and I've been told there also was one from Kazakhstan  Smiley

Great thing they arranged the tiger meet at Ørland this year! Great opportunity to shoot fighterpics even if the meet is all about one thing...  --> Cheers   Wink
