Just got here, so maybe a small intro : i´m a 36 hour PPL student pilot from Portugal, and i find a lot of the pics posted on this thread simply stunning. Though not in the same league as some here, i´d like to share a few pics i´ve taken while flying solo (i know, student pilot shouldn´t be taking pics, but hey, who can resist?! 
) :
Let´s see if i can make this work:
Shoreline south of Lisboa, with "Lagoa de Albufeira" in sight:
One of the beautifull beaches in the "Serra da Arrábida", near the city of Setúbal :
The Troia peninsula, south of the city of Setubal :
Apparently, didn´t work out so good, as only the link shows. Sorry.

Sierra Golf it seems to be a private album not in view by the public.
Go to Photobucket, change it to public and insert here the specific image url for each picture with the [IMG... tags.
Welcome ;-)

Really beautiful photos, can't wait to get my license to be able to fly in Greece! By the way, do you think the communication will be difficult for me since I have learned everything in English?

Well at the end of the day I guess it will not be hard to learn the appropriate greek phraseology to use in order to keep everyone happy..;-) I may mostly be flying from Tatoi Airport in the suburbs of Athens...not sure if the airport is called that but what I do know is that it is 10min from where I live..:-) Thanks for your answer!!

With immense thanks to OC 6 and the rest of the Squadron for making this possible. True professionals one and all.
Stik
Rolling as a two-ship.
Climbing out and "holding hands"
Entering IMC and we tighten up
I'm flying the aircraft and have never flown this fast - still accelerating up to 420kts
Pulling high Alpha above Wales
Letting down for a GCA at Valley

Thanks chaps. I am not very good with cameras and I just pressed the tit when it seemed appropriate. I think I took 55 pics!
How was I allowed to be there is quite a different topic. Mmnn - let me just say that I was incredibly privileged. Those of you who know me, know the bizarre turn of events that caused it to happen as I left the RAF 24 years ago!
The only remaining Sepecat Jaguar Squadron in the Royal Air Force, 6 Sqn, have been told that the Jaguar will be withdrawn from service at the end of this month, some months before the due date. This has caused disruption to all Squadron personnel, from the "fairies and sooties" that service the jets, through to the ever so nice "squippers", safety equipment folk to the admin and ops folk.
An amazing day and when I'm 80 odd years old and dribbling, making incoherent noises - it'll be the one that I'm thinking about!
Thanks to OC6 and Jag Staneval!

P.S. Mods: maybe this has been asked before but why can't this thread be a "sticky" so that we can all readily share some excellent flying experiences from around the world?

Breckland PFA Flyin 3rd June - New Homebuilt
Apologies if I should'nt post this here but I am a new member - and this is my first post.
The annual get together was once again held at the Norfolk Gliding
Club Tibenham AIrfield.
Thanks must go to the organisers for a very well organised ,safe,
relaxed and informal gathering and excellent Beer and BBQ.
Despite the sunny weather numbers of aircraft visiting were down on
last year but a good selection still graced the parking area and were
well placed for photo's.
An interesting homebuilt was
