Aviation Photography by Piet Luijken
Distinct Focus on Military Aeroplanes, present and past
Air...
Aviation, Airplanes, Jets; to many these words behold the magic of flying, of being above the surface of the world, between clouds, below the darkness of space. It can be loud, it can be silent, it can be fast, it can be slow, it can be high, it can be low, but it's all part of the essence of flying.
I myself have been pulled into the world of aviation. I have looked to airplane flying high above my house, I have mastered the art of flying, I have flown many aircraft, I have learned to instruct but I still like to look at aircraft, to talk about aircraft and to tell about aircraft.
This website is about aviation, about aircraft I have seen and was able to photograph in their natural habitat. It is also about the stories behind the aircraft, told by their own crewmembers.
Enjoy.
