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.

Air-to-Air with the Swiss PC-7 Team

Post by Eric Coeckelberghs »

Finally I have found the time to put our first report of this season online 8)

It's been a hectic, busy, and busier airshowseason with an ever increasing amout of photoflying,and I'd like to share some of the excitment with you; altough it's only in pictures....

In august I had the chance to fly again with the PC-7 Team, during the airshowweekend in Goteborg, Sweden. The first backseatride was the validationflight on friday afternoon, but we actually flew in the rain, so not too many brilliant photos.

the best one I took on the ground, when we had a glimpse of sunshine at a really perfect timing :mrgreen:

on sunday I had more luck....sunshine and a unique chance to fly again with 'Ebi' in the nr6 aircraft, but first briefing ;)
Image

flightchecks were done along the absolutely stunning coastline...brilliant backgrounds!!!

And flying during an airshow....what can I say cooool! :worship:

Or lucky, I bet it cost you a lot of time and effort to arrange. Congrats that you managed to get to do something like that. And thanks for sharing it with us here. :respect:

PC-7 Team is only 4G turns & loops. I flew also with the Breitling team this season and they have 6 & 7 G manoeuvres, and I didn't leave any food their either :twisted:
