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.

Children day Thailand U'Tapao

Post by John137 »

On 10-01-2009 the yearly Children's Day for Thailand was held. I was able to visit about the Navy airfield U'Tapao.
The first few pictures will give you some idea how the planes are being parked, and about the photography opportunity.

Remarkable to see that the public can actually touch the planes en weapons under the wings without anyone supervising.
I always say a boy can learn more at an airport than at any school.
