Latest photoshootings performed at Koksijde airshow last July 2009 once more depicted performances of the Nikon AFS 300 mm f.1:2.8G VR ED N latest telelens used with TC-14 E II and TC-17 E II extenders added to the lens. Camera is Nikon D300. VR mode is on normal to test the features, and I as said in Photographic 1 Photo Records, the results are perfect. Colours are lavished, and only little hue, light and contrast corrections were done on these photographs, apart from the crops that ned to be done for ajustments into this webmagazine page.

This ' Photographic 2 ' feature shows the striking colour scheme worn by the KLU Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16 MLU Solo Display jet www.f16demoteam.nl . Pilot is famous Ralph ' Sheik ' Aarts flying the solo Viper for his third and maybe last season in the European Airshow circuit. But Ralph 'Sheik' Aarts will perform this Netherlands KLU display at Aviation Nation 2009, Nellis AFB, Nevada, on a grey USAF F-16 C only.

Design and Colours : F-16 is a Lion !
