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.

Colombia 2012 (VVC+BOG) UPDATE III

Post by airbus11 »

As promised (maybe you remember my LAX-trip) here are some photos from my Colombia trip.
I visited Bogota and Villavicencio and I got ramp access on both of them!

First of all I'd like to show you this shot. It shows Avianca's newest addition to the fleet, it's N519AV.
This is the first aircraft for Avianca in Star Alliance c/s (AV is supposed to join the alliance on 21st june).

Thank you :wink:
The "bush shot" was taken at Villavicencio, so yes it's an active airport. There are many DC-3's, AN-2's, a DC-6 and a PBY Catalina "stored" like this at VVC.

Very interesting post, makes me wanna travel there :D Really good quality shots. I like the night shots too even if they are with that awful yellow light (really hard to correct as well).
You obviously have access of some sort, but how easy would it be to spot there as a foreigner?

Cheers,
Egon

Thank you!! I really like your pictures as well!
The biggest problem in Colombia is that nearly nobody knows the hobby "planespotting" and they automatically think that you're a spy or something equal.
But if you want I can tell you details via private message.
