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.

Looks like he had a (small) leak or something like that? Seems (to me) some dirt (oil / kerosine?) came out......

Nice pictures though.

What me surprised is that the E-4 left already yesterday with AF1 still in Africa......

Doesn't surprise me Oscar1.....it was at RS for POTUS visit in Italy. So POTUS movements will also mean movements for E-4 on the background. I think a radius from around 400-500 miles around POTUS is the location were a E-4 normaly stands .

Hi Kier,

Indeed the E-4 normally stays within 400-500km from AF1 at any time. He arrived ETAR when AF1 flew to Moscow (bit more then 400-500km, but anyhow). The E-4 stayed when AF1 flew to Italy.

I would say he stayed at ETAR (or somewhere close to Africa) still these days when AF1 is in Africa. But in fact the E-4 left back home yesterday, so either there must be another E-4 somewhere in Spain / southern Italy / Greece, or (in my opinion) it is strange....
