Resource by WallpapersExcellent sunset shot of the MQ-9 Reaper UAV. I wonder how long before these aircraft are autonomous?

Big thanks to Pieter who filled in all last week. I really appreciated the airshow photos and video.

Here's Pieter again!
Last week, I went to the Biggin Hill airshow.
I've seen Eurofighter Typhoon, F86 Sabre, Avro Vulcan, Lancaster, Spitfire, Hurricane, P51 Mustang, Messerschmitt Me109J, P40 Kittyhawk,...

This picture is from a Fokker Triplane. I'm sure you've all seen the movie Flyboys and you'll recognise this airplane.

Anyone has a request picture?

P-140 Auora 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Here's a picture of the touch-down of the Canadian P-140 Auora. This planes spends most of his time with looking for illegal fishing, migration, drugs and pollution in addition to foreign submarines. They can also perform search and rescue missions using air-droppable survival pods.
It looks a lot like a P-3 Orion. Is it the same? What is different?

Here's probably the main reason why I went to the Leeuwarden airshow. The Eurofighter! I know it is a photo from the static, and I know that guy on the right really disturbs the whole image, but I really like this plane. Check out the HUD!

This one is my current wallpaper. I converted every color in black&white except all the blues. You can do this in Photoshop with the "Replace color" function. Then I used some tricks to replace some blue tshirts of the crowd around the plane.
I hope you like it!

Here's an F/A-18C Hornet flying somewhere in Afghanistan. You don't see many green bodies of water so it makes a great backdrop.

A380-800 at Paris Airshow 1680x1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Resource by Wallpapers
Hello!
Here's Pieter from Belgium.
2 weeks ago I went to the Paris Airshow.
I've seen Rafale, Eurofighter, F18, F16, C130, C27 and the A380-800!
This was the highlight of the show.
Due to the great distance between the airplanes and the audience, I couldn't take decent pictures of the fighters with my 200 mm lens.


If you want to know how big the A380 really is, imagine an appartment building that is doing a low speed pass at 1000 feet.

Last weekend I went to the Biggin Hill airshow near London, I'll post some pictures soon.
