•  Info A rare display of nine General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon from Fighter Wing Skrydstrup in diamond formation from the Royal Danish Air Force at Danish Air Show 2014. There are 30 operational F-16s in Denmark (and it is the only fighter air craft in service in Denmark), so this display constitutes a significant fraction of the entire tactical air force in Denmark. The observant will notice that the alignment in the formation is not thaat perfect, but still pretty impressive in my opinion. --Slaunger (talk) 14:25, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Support A very striking image. Could wish for a bit more sharpness, but it's understandable. Kbh3rd (talk) 03:27, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
  • @Kbh3rd: : Thanks for your review. I agree regarding the sharpness. To be honest my equipment is suboptimal for aviation photography, and at the event I saw at least 100 aviation photographers with much better equipment. All the time I heard shutter sounds around me and tens of thousands of images were taken. What is a little disheartening is that although so many photos of probably outstanding quality were taken at the event, not many are freely available, and I am - as I write this - the only Commons user to have populated Category:Danish Air Show 2014, although the show had 120,000 visitors. An almost similar shot is available through Getty Images. --Slaunger (talk) 09:37, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

It is sad. What percentage of photos taken would ever be offered for sale, yet they are all locked up with copyright for the rest of the century. -- Colin (talk) 18:00, 17 August 2014 (UTC)

•  Support Incredible image. At very first sight, I thought this was the result of a collage! Though the lowerleft most guy deserves a little scold here ;) - Benh (talk) 10:27, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
  • Thanks. Admittedly, I have felt tempted to post-process him "back into line", in order not be an embarassement for the Royal Danish Airforce! But then I thought, we are all human, no-one is perfect and perhaps it aligns well with the slightly laid-back attitude towards discipline among Danes (or lack of skill) --Slaunger (talk) 10:42, 17 August 2014 (UTC
