My 2016's Top 10

ImageDedicated forum to share your own recent photos with the rest of the community.

Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Nice photos! Marcel: I like that Chinook-photo a lot - I really should take a look there myself.
I wasn't very active this year, so nothing special from me.

1 My first trip in Greece, with 4Aviation. At last: T-2's! <3

2 But the Egyptian F-16 at Andravida stole the show.

3 Tanagra

4 Fairford was OK, but the weather on Saturday was pants. Again!

5 Frisian Flag was fantastic again, everyone was there, so no surprises.

7 Flying with Fokker Four. That's a lot of fun and easy to arrange! I flew with my dad and my daughter.

Some civilian counterweight to these fine military pictures. I am not about spectaculair pictures but are more interested in adding aicraft to my collection.
I cannot complain about the aicrat that appeared before my camera this year here are my highlights from various trips.

I went to the Dutch Antilles to see some old airliners from Venezuela
Curacao
Image

Aruba
Image

The whole civilian spotter world went crazy with his special paint job.
Dusseldorf
Image

Madrid is the place to see south American airliners. Cubana is the only airline that still flies the Ilyushin 96
Madrid
Image

TAM is a part of the new Latam group, only 3 A350's have been deliverd in TAM colors, the newer aircraft are Latam.
Madid
Image

It's always nice when an airline does special promotions
Paris CDG
Image

A fair number of 747-8 jumbo's ended up as ultra bizz jets in the middle east, this one flies Qatari dignitaries around.
Paris CDG
Image

Sign of the future, we will be seeing more and more of these and I am not complaining.
Dusseldorf
Image

I saw this little known airline from Russia's east in Seoul
Image

Amakusa is an airline with 1 plane and up until now this was the only ATR in Japan, Japan Air Commuter is now getting them to.
Fukuoka
Image

If you want to see more of these trips, have a look at http://www.aviationpix.nl

Kind regards

What exactly do you mean by 'operational plan'? A map of where to go can be found on my website (http://www.katsudo.nl/aviation/?p=793).
A plan of when to go is not available. Just go, wait and get lucky (or not). I have never been disappointed yet, although I have only seen Chinooks each time.
