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.

A bit dissapointing evening at the homeplate as far as the amount of traffic is concerned. Only two AH-64's took off. 'Bat72' and shortly thereafter followed by 'Bat73', which only flew one circuit and came in again. Wx too bad for him and his student. 'Bat73' was first in the Q-25 but even before take off stepped over to spare Q-23, who was seated by 'Redskin12'. They had to step out because Bat had, even for a short circuit, priority. Q-25 never flew...


First one with 400mm + 1.4 extender

Make no mistake. With the bare eye you only know an aircraft is standing there because of a tiny red light flashing. On photo it looks better

Finally the X'mas lights are back out of the cubboard.

And as it is with X'mas, you hear bells. The sweet noise of bells was not very common the last years at Gils. But they are back, pretty much to disgust of the local motorvehicle owners because these are attached to the traffic light at the Langebergse.

The second wave, 'Bat71' and 'Bat74' were heared on the skenner but they as well, never took off. Old times, it seemed 298Sqn and 300Sqn never moved to Gils anyhow.
