Pair of Belgian F-16s in Formation 1680 x 1050 Widescreen Wallpaper

Beautiful pair of Dutch F-16's flying in formation. Great shot.

(edit-- thanks all for the comments. Being American, I'm not always familiar with the markings of other European countries. I've correct my comment above.)

Fokker Triplane


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?

A380-800 at Paris Airshow 1680x1050 Widescreen Wallpaper


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.
