Here are some photos I took in Belgium last week.
Hope you like them.

(I resized them to fit my smartphone. You can use them as well, if you want).

Nice shots! I like the first two. What kind of lens did you use?

Thunderbirds at Koksijde 2011

I shot this footage from a practice flight, one day before the airshow. We were standing outside the airbase, so we could see the jets from a very different angle than we were used to.
Since the runway is too narrow, they always took off in singles.

Make sure to watch in HD! 8)

Very neat Sawamura!

I can honestly say that I've never seen the HBB (@ 4:40) from that perspective. Oh, and the final approaches rival those from St. Maarten.
