[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
First I would like to thank each and everyone who did take a look and those who did comment on my previous uploads. Much appreciated.

The original sky in this image was very dull and therefore I did use a NIK orange grade filter to add some color.

Shot was taken during an Air Show at Groningen Airport Eelde in the North parth of the Netherlands.
Eelde is a small place situated in the Province of Drenthe wich is a few miles South of the Province of Groningen, but they called it Groningen Airport while that is the nearest bigger town.

The plane in this image is a Pilatus PC7 Turbo Trainer of the Duthch Air Force.

From Wikipedia

The Pilatus PC-7 Turbo Trainer is a low-wing tandem-seat training aircraft, manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft of Switzerland. The aircraft is capable of all basic training functions including aerobatics, instrument, tactical and night flying. It has been selected by more than twenty air forces as their ab initio trainer — since the aircraft's introduction in 1978 close to 500 have been sold, with the majority still in service.

The aircraft is also used by private customers and is both FAA and FOCA civil certified in order to comply to the general aviation regulations in Europe and the USA.

Well over one million hours have been flown by PC-7s worldwide.

magnifique prise de vue avec un ciel superbe . joli travail Harry

Hi Harry,
I like this colorful capture. Sky and plane looks wonderful together. Nice work.

Best Regards,
Alex

excellent capture with fantastic smoke trails and great tones in the sky!

Hi Harry,
Stunning capture, in several ways, the position of the PC-7, the contrast and ofcourse the magnificent sunset colours. An outstanding presentation with the white frame. I'm not sure about the text with large font in it, thats the only disturbing factor, although it's minor. The photo is superb!

Beautiful colours in the sky.
The trace lines provide an almost natural link between the clouds and the airplane.

Hallo harry
In een woord beautiful.

Geweldige foto door het kleurgebruik. Het enige minpuntje vind ik de geringe detaillering van de PC-7, echter dit wordt ruimschoots gecompenseerd door de kleuren waarin de PC-7 vliegt. Toppie.
