@ all: thanks!
I was happy to shoot some Cougars, included a camouflaged one, while they're still flying around. My favorite helicopter within our airforce
Makes me feel a bit sad to realise these choppers will be gone in a few years.

Hi guys, This morning I visited Deelen to see the choppers departing to Gilze as exercise Falcon Autumn has ended. The cougars were parked on the dispersals in the south east part of the base. I was lucky to have two sunny spells of about 1 minute each :? but rain and humidity also have advantages f...

In EnglishCamp Spyker (TT circuit) is nearly empty. This morning the FARP was broken down and prepared to be transported away by trailer. At 14:00, the crews of 3 Chinooks (D-103, D664 en D-666) were awaiting instructions to leave. Flying activities in Assen are over.Kamp Spyker (TT circuit) is nag...

The FARP itself was not open for public and fenced off but you have a good view from the road and tribunes at the south/ southeast side. I simple drove on the circuit and parked the car somewhere. And walked to the FARP. No problems at all. There were more spectators watching the motorraces and the...

Excellent report, wel done. Capturing these beauties in their natural habitat looks very operational and stunning Hard to pick a favorite but imo number 2 is a winner! Where exactly is this FARP located? On the TT circuit or just outside? Was this place accesible for public? I can hardly imagine tha...

Yesterday 335 Sqn took part in flights ? because in 116 FW (Araxos AFB) we had a very rare accident. Yes, they did fly but participated only in the morningwave. Can you tell us what happened?

Aha that explains the confusion.
btw nice to meet you yesterday Wim

According to another spotter, the A-292 finally wend to the slopes when we were all at 28 again. I would be surprised if that's true... I've been almost the whole day at the slopes untill 1600hrs and only a short time at 28 but I did not see a single helicopter at the slopes. The A-292 only did a f...

Some good stuff shown above! I noticed that the gorgeous autumn colours doesn't really pop out at all pictures here. A little hint; try to increase the saturation (without making it unnatural). That will make them much more attractive. To be honest; the angle shown by Edward and Jimmy from previous ...

G´day all, It was a really great day at Gilze today! Circumstances and movements were good. Two Apaches and one Chinook against a wonderful background. Amazing colors, without any doubt the most photogenic season of the year. I did enjoy myself and shot one of my best Apaches photo´s ever. Nice to h...

Nice photoreport you all. Looks like a busy day at Volkel indeed!

Mario, I like your first and last shot. Can you tell where these shots exactly are taken? Pretty long time ago that I visited Volkel for a day at the fence

Tnx
