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.

Ramstein 18-02, first practice

Post by Ergo01 »

My son (14) got the opportunity to test his skills with a new Canon. It was a beautiful day with good variety and plenty of sunshine. Landing and take-off shots are well covered at the FF-site. Here some other results.

some more from ETAR 18-02

The usual : Charleston C-17s
Image
It seems this Travis C-5 is a resident
Image
There were no less than four different Blackhawks with red crosses bashing the circuit
Image
A good catch as well: this new Navy Clipper
Image
This is why we went: the new Deltas from Colorado. They still carry their old CR (!!!) code inside the tailband.

Remember, not my pics, but my son's.
