admin See my 107 Photos	Welcome Louis. Good to have you here, and great photos. BTW, to keep the focus on the subject at hand, images in signatures are now allowed. I've seen some Forums where you have to hunt to find the text, and I don't want this Forum to be like that. Sorry about that. Again, welcome aboard Louis and we look forward to seeing your photos on the site. -Ray This is the oldest I've ever been.

Avsfan See my 32 Photos	Quote admin : BTW, to keep the focus on the subject at hand, images in signatures are now allowed. Just curious if you are talking about the copyright on my photos that are posted on my www.flickr.com page. If so, those would not be on any photos that are posted here on this site. I definitely understand that there should not by anything like that on a photo that would be uploaded to a site like this. I have photos on some of the other sites and know that type of stuff is not allowed. My copyright is on the photos that are on my www.flickr.com webpage to try and help protect them from being claimed by other people. Thanks for your concern. Louis

admin See my 107 Photos	Hi Louis, No, no I'm talking about when people enter some kind of an image in their signature line. Then at the bottom of every single one of their posts is a huge banner that is very distracting. Only text is allowed here. As you can see I have a signature, set from my profile, and it automatically appears whenever I make a post. That's all. Nothing to do with photos. -Ray This is the oldest I've ever been.

tigerfast See my 7 Photos	Hi Folks My name is Ross and I was pointed to this site by Warplane. Living in Edinburgh,RAF Leuchars is my closest military airfield,but my real passion is LOW LEVEL photography,which with the Borders to the south of Edinburgh is readily available (once my ankle has healed after my last TRIP!!) I use a Canon 20D and 30D with a 100-400 IS and 300MM IS lens. Hope to upload some pictures soon (working my way through a weeks worth of Phantom and Tornado pics from Lossiemouth at the moment!)

I'm sure people will have all kinds of questions about mid-air refueling. It's a pretty interesting an unique concept. It'd be great if one of you guys did a detailed article on exactly how it works, the logistics of it and all, with tons of pictures. I'm sure everyone would enjoy reading it. Something to think about. Again, welcome and good to have you here. -Ray This is the oldest I've ever been.

tomcat21 See my 105 Photos	Quote HELLO EVERYBODY My name is VICTOR from PONCE,PR. I'm not a good photographer even I'm not a good computer operator but I love the MILITARY AVIATION PHOTOGRAPHY. IT's so sad to me at this moment because rigth here and rigth now you can't see any figther aircraft since Roosevelt Roads Naval Base is close operations 4years ago...In that moment I decided to retire to... (of course from the hobbie of aviation photography and my equipment was a CANON EOS 35mm with Sigma 170-500mm Zoom) Now the history is diferent with the digital cameras; for me it's better tech and I love that. For this reason, I'm engage the hobbie again after 4years of retirement, now I'm 36years old and I a bus driver with the Goverment and I have a new digital camera [PANASONIC DMC-FZ30( It's not a best choice for aviation photography but it's help in some ways)] Thanks for bring me the oportunity to welcome onboard to a great site like this one I'm TOMCAT21

Ghostbase See my 2,749 Photos	Hello, I joined Airfighters.Com last night, have been looking for somewhere sensible to post military photos to for a while. Just uploaded a few Starfighters to start with taken back in 1985. Oh yes, I forgot; I am Michael Baldock, age 48, live in Guildford, and I work as railway train crew. Have been interested in aircraft since I was 3 years old! My other interest is abandoned airfields and military sites hence my user name 'Ghostbase' which was the title of my old website, now reopened and relocated to: Ghostbase Michael Appears to be thinking...

Iceman See my 1,527 Photos	Hello everyone, I am a regular like SnowJ on some UK forums, mainly Fighter Control and UKAR. My main interest is military aircraft photography which I have been doing seriously now for 3 years. I have taken pictures at military shows and bases since the mid 80's but nothing with any decent equipment. My passion takes me all around Europe but I am hoping to do west coast USA next year for the first time. My equipment includes the following: Canon EOS 20D x2 Canon EF 100-400L Canon EF 70-200L f/2.8 Canon EF 300L f/4 Canon EF 24-105L plus the usual extras. Just uploaded my first two pictures, will upload some more later. Cheers
