According to my clock it is now April 23 in the Netherlands, so it is now Hansel's Birthday (^0^)

I saved this one for you, good sir -- a special heritage flypast for a man who has reached the age where he deserves great honour !

Captured at the Airshow of the Canadian National Exhibition; cropped, removed noise in selected areas, resized and framed

Thanks for looking and for joining me in wishing the mighty GreenBaron the very happiest of days!

Happy 60th, Hans! Funny, you don't look a day over 55, you've worn well.

Very appropriate tribute, Silke. Getting the two planes side-by-side like that, and so sharp, is very well done. I rather like the wee glint of light off the cockpit above the pilot in the bigger plane. Nice shot!

Adorei a foto...

Happy birthday Hans!

It is a perfect anniversary card for our friend, Silke! Taken just at time! I am amazed by the contrast of these two generations flying together!
Superb and well presented!
Bravo! Annie

This is a great capture! Very eyecatching, and an amazing POV, it looks as if you were right on the same level as the planes!

And a nice tribute to the GreenBaron!

Hi Silke, A classic as it shows how much the planes have evolved over a few decade. Ideal sharpness and good to be clear of any clutter. Very fine photograph. TFS. Murray.
PS i thought Hans was 50 or less from his spirit of enthusiam!

Now Silke, Hansl can only be very pleased.
His favourite subject but made even more charming because it's a heritage flight (see older can be more charming, it only needs a bit more maintanance to keep it going ^-^!) and of course black framing because that's what he likes.
And then that nice dinner in that Italian Place not far from the B&B......

Wonderful dedication Silke!

Thanks for your nice critique on "BIRD SERIES 1"

I think the Hornet may have had his brakes on to enable you to capture this Silke. Great timing, good colour and well presented. Some sort of halo around the planes or is it my continued lack of sleep? TFS and Happy Birthday again Hans,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Smell the Flowers’

Hi Silke

Superb sharpness, & good 'freezing' of the action. I like the parellel lines of the 2 aircraft. A marvellous blue sky, & tfs!

Ps: Happy Birthday, GB!

Hello Silke

A wonderful capture here that I am sure the Green Baron will really appreciate knowing his love of all things that fly.

Nice angle for the shot and neat framing.

Merhaba myfriend Silke...,

Excellent job with beautiful photo, wonderful colors and a very beautiful frame!

Milas...

Hi Silke,
A great shot for the Birthday boy, I like the way the little plane looks to be in a dive to have enough speed to keep up with the bigbird, well captured with both planes in line.
Well done
Regards Andy

Hello Silke,
What a funny combination of subjects!
The photo job here is well done, and the point of view works perfectly...
This is a real treat for Hans on his Birthday, no doubt!
Greetings,
Pablo -

Thanks you my dear Silke a great fly past from the F-18 Hornet and the Texan T-6 Harvard (This last one was the first aircraft which I practise for maintenance about 80 years ago :-)
I'm very happy with this nice birthday gift dear Silke; a superb picture, well presented in the black frame!
Big hug from the Baron, which I will do "life" on May the 11th :-)
Hansel
