Well said Machlooper.
A few golden rules when dealing with any press/publishers.
Never grant permission for photo that could embarress pilot/crew/operator/passenger
Never grant permission for photo with people included without expressed permission from all of them.
Agree context in which photo can be used.
Agree single or multi use
If in doubt refuse permission, more ofter than not the best course of action.
Frankly, I have had more photos lifted without permission than requested but have always followed up. Many others on this forum will have had the same experience.

All print media have a rack rate if price not agreed & will depend on size of photo printed. Make sure you have supplied them with your full name & address. Also email address. check with whoever made initial contact with you for their accounts contact phone & email details.
Generally I have found tabloids pay more than broadsheets !
O, & congrats.

The Belgians also had an F-104 display team from 1969 to late 1970's. The strange name came from Lockheads test pilots nick name for the F-104 prototype "Silver Sliver". BAF F-104 pilots adpoted the nick name "Slivers" for their machines. Witnesed their awsome & very loud 2 ship display at Prestwick 1975 along with at least on of this forums contributers. The Canadians had a 6 ship F-104 display up that year. Now I'm really feeling old !

Thanks joey1. Yep, taken while on finals old RWY29.
Was a very windy day but the Dragon was steady. Paul von Lonkhausen was the pilot, made it look easy !
The Swallow will be flying again quite soon.I believe it will be present for the ILAS fly-in.

The first few guest aircraft arrived Fri afternoon, some photos at this link :

Iolar did about a dozen local flights, looked & sounded great. Well done to the team of volunteers who have worked so hard for the last year. This was Johnny Molloy's third time to lead a team on a major refurbishment of Iolar !
WX has been a bit nasty & Sat looks about the same but hopefully a few more will visit.
More photos over the weekend.

Lovely photos.
I was standing in LAP Bravo at DUB with a UK biz jet crew this evening, 2200 approx, it had just gotten dark. The Retro A320 was towed down to H6 right in front of us as we had a natter. As I admired the colour scheme the two visitng drivers remarked how smart the 1960/70s scheme looked on the Airbus. It really does turn heads !
