I expect this will be heavily Cobra Warrior focused.....


1. Only one entry per user, unless posting on behalf of another person who is unable to do so themselves (children for example). If this is the case, please state so on your entry.
2. The photograph must have been taken during the month and year in question - March 2023, the date the photo was taken MUST be included in the post.
3. The photo can be of any subject you like, as long as there is some military aviation connection.
4. The image can be photo-shopped to some extent, levels changes, cropping, sharpening etc. are all acceptable. The photograph must retain it’s initial subject though, don’t make it something it’s not (cutting and pasting the moon into the shot, for example). HDR images are not acceptable. If you are unsure, please PM a moderator.
5. The competition will remain open until 23.59 on the 6th April 2023 (UK time), to enable anyone with last minute entries some breathing space
6. The voting will be carried out by you, the members of FC, by a poll which will be created at the closing of the competition.
7. Moderators/Administrators will not be exempt from the competition, but cannot vote for their own entry.
8. The decision of the moderating team is final.
9. All images must be posted in line with the usual FC posting rules
10. The rules may be subject to change, and these will be posted on this thread.
11. Please do not comment on entries other than your own.
12. Prizes are available for UK entrants only

Good luck everyone!

The stationary Belgian F-16AM 'The X Tiger', blurred by the warm gases exiting from a Snecma turbofan - a mirage caused by a Mirage 2000 MKI ahead of it. Taken Monday 6 March 2023 at Waddington, as Exercise Cobra Warrior gets underway.

The end of the first day of Cobra Warrior (06/02/23), the best part of the day (for conditions) for sure.
