though, i enjoyed the El Centro photo call thread, i just HAD to put up some of my pics of the Euro tigermeet. just not as dusty, not as international as at el centro, but still. and since my SoCal vacation got cut short, i'll get my "revenge" in SoCal in a couple of months...

You gotta hand it to the European Services for some of the best aircraft paint jobs out there. Gotta love the EYES on the forward Stabs. IMG-1285-1 in the previous post.

Thanks, but I was referring to IMG_1103-1 and IMG_1143-1. Those are Mirage 2000Ds.
