Paparazzi

A visitor from Netherlands posted Mon January 16, 2006:
This is one of those that can keep me busy for a while. the attraction is in both the level of details visible and the angle at which it has been taken, inflight at that! seen the writing inside the intake?

A visitor from United States posted Mon January 16, 2006:
A wonderful laugh-riot of a photo!

A visitor from Peru posted Mon January 16, 2006:

Congratulations Willem, in fact all airliners.net community should be joyful because we all (photographers, administrators, members and all visitors) make part of a unique and such talented world in internet. Thanks to people like you who share with us a superb artwork like this one.

A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun January 15, 2006:
A unique picture, technically very good, nice moment, can't be reproduced. And it's a Viggen :)

A visitor from Germany posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Unbeliveable

A visitor from Sweden posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Simply Beautiful! I will miss seeing that unmistakable shape of the Viggen in the Swedish skies...

A visitor from Sweden posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Very nice. I believe it says "Final check at Blekinge Wing". Blekinge Wing is F 17 in Blekinge, southern Sweden.

A visitor from Romania posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Haha that's so neat! What is written in de engine intake? :)

A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Willem, one of the best photo's on the site without a doubt! Not only because of the bitter sweet emotions of it; a humouristic moment in putting this great and unique aircraft to its final rest but also the quality is superb. Exteremely well done!!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Very nice shot Willem! It's just... amazing!

A visitor from Australia posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Reconnaissance...? Swedish style...

A visitor from Portugal posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Not everyone has the chance to take that kind of photos but also not everyone that has that chance can get these kind of shots!! Congrats!!

A visitor from Austria posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Great shot! Would be fun to get the picture taken from the Viggen pilot, too.

A visitor from Sweden posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Showed to my son how in the "cold war" pilots used to take photo shots of the other side when flying over the Baltic sea. This is better then the "Top-Gun" movie cause its more realistic in everydays life of them flyboys.

A visitor from Finland posted Sun January 15, 2006:
Nice detail-photo of great Viggen. I really love this plane and had a priviledge to fly with it!
When next time in AMS I´ll visit the Dome for this!

A visitor from Sweden posted Sun January 15, 2006:

Oh! I am silent. Great photo!

A visitor from Canada posted Sun January 15, 2006:
As a pilot,I've had this experience to be hunted several times but it seems its not always the pilots who get hunted. They are good hunters themselves. Photographers,watch out!!!

So this is how the Swedish AF conducts their air-to-air surveillance; with a 99€ digital camera. ;) Great pic!

A visitor from Belgium posted Sun January 15, 2006:
5 star achievement, Willem! Incredible shot! I wonder what the actual distance between the two aircraft was at the time of this shot? Keep on shooting these wonderful pictures and keep on sharing them with all of us who love these thrilling air2air shots! Br, Walter

Priceless! Incredibly original shot!

A visitor from Netherlands posted Sat January 14, 2006:
Looks more like "final check " to me, but is sure is one of the greatest air to air photo's I've seen .

A visitor from Germany posted Sat January 14, 2006:
Perfect shot !

A visitor from Portugal posted Sat January 14, 2006:
Spectacular frame...what is that thing on the pilot hand?...do you call that a camera?

A visitor from Germany posted Sat January 14, 2006:
Excellent as always, Willem. And a funny caption, too.

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat January 14, 2006:
That is one awesome photo, what a view out of your office window! These air to air shots are always amazing but you are so close. Stu

A visitor from Mexico posted Sat January 14, 2006:
So who is gettin´ spotted? Sad the Viggen is out.

A visitor from Sweden posted Sat January 14, 2006:
Excellent photo! The text on the inlet is swedish for 'danger'. The sticker under the canopy reads 'Warning Ejection Seat'.

A visitor from Germany posted Sat January 14, 2006:
Awesome pic! What does it say on the inlet? "Fried Chick" or something? ;)

A visitor from Netherlands posted Sat January 14, 2006:
Viggen on it's final flight. Very nice. Especially have a look at the writing inside the engine: "Final CHeck at Blehinge Wing by MSV, GAV"

A visitor from United States posted Sat January 14, 2006:
I always wondered....but now I know who is responsible for all the air-to-air pics on A.net *;-)
Thank You for that pic!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sat January 14, 2006:
