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.

Holiday in Jordan

Post by PHKCE »

Last month I visited Jordan for a week. Here are some pictures. The quality is not perfect because most of the pictures where made through windows.

1. Some old Tristars parked at Aqaba Airport

2. Royal Jordanian in the morning sun at Queen Alia Airport, Amman

3. Royal Jordanian Airbus A321-231 JY-AYK 'Tafila'

4. Boarding Royal Jordanian Airbus A321-231 JY-AYK for the flight back to Amsterdam

5. Royal Jordanian Airbus A340-212 JY-AID (made through the window of JY-AYK)

Hope you like them.

Very nice holiday destination, hope you had a good time. The pics look fine concidering they're taken from (airplane) windows.
Jordan is pretty high on my wish list to travel to in the middle-east. How were the Jordanians about photographing around the airports??

Kind regards, Jeffrey.

I have had a holiday in Jordan. On the way from Amman to a desert castle I could see F-16's on Al Azraq air base. And in Aqaba there was an air show of the Royal Jordanian Falcons. I believe they were exercising.
Jordan is a beautiful country to visit. :picture:

Hi,

been to Jordan twice in the last 5 years. As soon as I arrived at Amman airport I was rushed into the baggage hall.
Not allowed to take the camera out of my bag. I did try several times, but military police is keeping an eye on all
passengers. Outside the terminal there is only sand and occupied watchtowers every 200 meters. No chance on the
side of the terminals. Don't know about Aqaba and Amman military airfield, but presume it is even more secure. So be
careful if you are going to try, they don't like it. All pics on the internet are taken out of aircraft windows.

Grtz,
Jeroen
