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.

Hi all,

Below are some pictures of last Sunday at Torrejon. Unfortunately the quality is not so good as we were driving in a bus and I had the sun facing towards me. Nevertheless it gives an idea of the dump at Torrejon. Said sight I have to say.....

Sad, but at least they're still there. That's better than being axed into oblivion as the Germans are treating their F-4's (and Tornado's). Me too I am very curious if these pictures have been taken off-base....

Regards,

Bas

Hi all,

The pictures were taken from the base itself, driving back from the the platform to the main gate.

I got on it by entering it via the front, via the door in the bus.
