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.

Switzerland May 2008

Post by Niek »

In the second week of MayI found some time to explore Switzerland again.
During two days the following stuff was seen amongst others.

Have fun,

Niek

F-5F J-3211 carrying some special pods. Anybody knows what they are for?

Just a nice PC-6 from LTst 7

PC-7 A-909 doing some aerodynamic breaking

I now know why the PC-9 has black/yellow colours. Today it was used as a taxi :D

Another PC-6 was "Felix"

Hi There!

Today was very busy with PC-7 movements, and apparently the crew also enjoyed it.

Two PdS Tigers also went for a dual mission and made this nice touch & go

Nice ones1 :bthumb: You have seen a nice variatie of airplanes at Payerne. Great airfield with lots of possibilities for the photographer don't you think? Did you have any trouble with security standing on top of the big shelter?

Security, which security? I did not see a single military person even vaguely looking in my direction :-)
Also very surprisingly, I had no problems at the Pilatus factory @ Buochs.

Great pictures from Swiss. You were indeed lucky you had no troubles at Buochs near the Pilatus factory.
