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.

After 2 hours delay, the C-130 left around 11:00. The the fog was gone right away.
Photos are unprocessed JPG's and yes the sensor needs cleaning :evil:

It will be stationed in the UAE for 2 years to support Dutch troops currently active in Afghanistan. It will fly to Kandahar from Minhad Air Force Base. Also known as "Camp Mirage" this base is used by RNLAF (K)DC-10 aircraft to bring people from and to Eindhoven Air Force Base in the Netherlands. These large tankers lack self protection systems and therefore using them above Afghanistan is a bit tricky.

Keep in mind that official news bulletins only speak of "Camp Mirage", the other name of the base is a kind of Voldemort name. Which may not be used :wink:
