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.

Great to see them flying. Now let´s hope the next ones have KLu roundels :twisted:
Cougar must be Puma :) Shorter than the Cougar/Super Puma

Actually, they're not Pumas either, they're Atlas Oryx's. The Oryx obviously is a modified version of the SA.330, but it is not the same, as I was told quite articulately by a SAAF cadet :shock: (the air force takes some pride in the fact that it's a 'heavily' modified version, so they're quite persistent about those NOT being Pumas :D ). The SAAF used to have quite a few SA.330's in service, but they were all withdrawn from use, years back.

Regards,

Stephan
