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.

The Kefalonian Dromaders

Post by herky »

Hi, just got back from the beautiful Greek island Kefalonia.
On arrival a Dromader taxied along our B.737, but it was not allowed to take pictures on the platform :cry: .
Later on the week I went to the landing area of the airport (great spot) and catch (200mm) the daily flying two M18 Dromaders 8) .

Do you know how they tank water after they dumped it?

Hi,

they are landing and take again water from a watertruck.

By the way, do you two have any log with military movements or business jets from your holidays in Kephallonia?

I haven't seen any military aircraft except for the Dromaders.

Civilo's were:

SX-BVP DHC-6 Airsealines.com
I-DFSL Lj45
HB-JEV G1159 V
PH-HZA B737-800 Transavia

and two Cessna's and a NOTAR.

Thank you for the quick response!

A pity that you didn´t see any military traffic ...

We had an apartment half an hour driving from the airport so maybe there was but I haven't seen it.
The day I was on the beach along the runway there was less traffic.
