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.

DACT exercise in the Gran Canarie "Fighting in heaven"

Post by MasterJet »

When all the europe is under cold, rain and snow the only decision to take is to fly to Gran Canarie.

Me, along other two "caballeros" went to Gando air base to follow the 2010 Dact exercise between Spanish Air Force and US Air Force.

About 40 planes are still present for this exercise that will finish at the end of this week.

Hornet from Ala 12, 15 e 46, Eurofighter from Ala 11, Fokker e Super Puma from SAR squadron of Gando...F-15C from Lakenheath and Nato Awacs...this was a good reason to fly to gando this week.

Now it's time for some pictures...hope you enjoy

Cheers

Giovanni Colla

PS - A big thanks to all the Ala 46 and to Alejandro of the http://www.thefightercommunity.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
