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.

Wittmund, the day after...

Post by Heron »

Goodmeurnin',

as a few friends and I weren't able to go to the spottersday at Wittmundhafen, we decided to go a day later.
Here are some shots of thursday 31 july 2008:

01 Speeding over the base:

02 Love the light reflecting off the runway to "light-up" the underside!
Image

03 In the early morning this one was towed, but it didn't fly that day...
Image

04 Only a touch-and-go.
Image

05 I saw the third oldest AND the third newest F-4F on this day.
Image

06 the third newest:

07 Peek-a-boo!
Image

08 As if 31 degrees C wasn't hot enough already...
Image

09 3781 made a single-engined approach and overshoot (first picture cropped a lot as you can see):

OK, some pictures suffer from heatwaves, but it is either that or no pictures at all... :wink:

Bert.

Very nice pics!

Single-engine overshoot is nice to see, never seen it before on a picture.

Greetings, Arjan

Nice pictures,
A shame for the people that went on the "spottersday that the 37+48 wasn't on the static. Lucky for you the hangar was open and A-4N N432FS was visible from outside. With Phantoms and Skyhawks Wittmund looks like Hatzerim (Israel) in the old days.
