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.

Flying the Il-18 in Moldova - April 2009

Post by ehusmann »

Alex' invite to the next Il-18 flight reminded me to post some pics of the flight in April. I am not so much of a photographer, let alone a digital photo specialist, so very little has been done to improve them. I only took away all the dustspots that were on the pictures, probably from the sandstorm I got myself into the week before in Syria :?
But at least I got the number of the beast! 8)

1. Posing at Balti for all enthousiaists

2. Starting the engines for a fast fly past

3. Taxiing out for the flypast

4. Low level flying on our way back to Chisinau
Image
5. Banking over Marculesti airbase

What a joy it was.... Thanks Alex for the wonderful day!

Whoohoow, so that's what you mean by 'trying to fly in many different types' of aircraft :angel:

that experience definately makes up for the whole trip!
