'Defence Days' @ Beauvechain AB, Belgium

[Marvin!!]

So I went to the Belgian "Defence Days" at Beauvechain airbase today. Weather was pretty bad as you can see. Sorry for the jpeg compression. I have the original high-res (3000*2000+ resolution) versions too...

Thanks for sharing. It's very interesting woot

[Marvin!!]

Pleasure.

Damn shame about the weather. Team Aguila (I think that's what they're called), the Spanish Air Force display team only took off to see if the weather conditions were good enough to do their routine, but they landed straight away. Typically, the sun came out just as the aircraft's canopies opened and the pilots climbed out :roll:

The rain also hindered photography. Wasn't too keen on getting my 1000€+ equipment wet :cantbeli:

Haha, i like that you PSed Sylvester Stallone over your head :lol:

Better than the usual black bars.Well, it's not my head but a friends (I'm the photographer)...

But indeed, better/funnier than a black bar, blur or smiley face p-)

Dingo looks like an impressive beast.
