Hi Andre,
Here is a pic of the “other” side, it was at the 1990 Mildenhal Airshow J-060 is the 2nd F16 in the 1st photo, I don’t have the serial for the 1st Aircraft.

Hi, Thanks for your interest,
These ones are all slides, mostly Kodachrome, They are stored well and are now over 20 years old, there is not a great deal of dust or marks present, a puffer brush cleaned them up well, I avoid “Dust / Image cleaning” programs as they affect the whole image,
They are scanned at 2400 DPI and cleaned up manually in Photoshop.
