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.

Creil airbase 22 June 2012

Post by Niek »

On Friday the 22nd of June, Panoravia was invited to visit the French Airforce's Creil Airbase.
During this visit, where our hosts understood exactly what we wanted, almost everything was possible.
Unfortunately, the sun that we ordered did not really arrive on time. Nevertheless some nice pictures could be made.
Please find an impression below, I hope you like them.

Interesting photos from a rarely visited base.
Did you see or photograph the preserved CM.170 please? It has not yet been identified!

It is 401. I checked the c/n myself last week.

Also on base where a Cap 10 with code VT and an Alouette 2, both in a hangar.

Excellent photographs. Of the CN235's present on Friday ( 9 a/c ?) did any of the a/c leave that day or were scheduled to leave ?

As far as I know, only local flights were scheduled for that day. We did leave the base around 1 PM though, so no idea what happened in the afternoon. I believe we saw 12 CASAs in total.
