Can you please be more specific about the problems that have occured as a result of such photos? I have been heading for Ramstein since 1984 and until now (been there in April this year for the last time) the only 'problems' I have encountered are police checks ("What are you guys doing?"). That's it... AFAIK we can all still do our thing around Ramstein despite hundreds of infrastructure pictures that have emerged in the recent decades.falcx wrote:I could understand that you feel safe to place pic's like this on the scramble site,
and of course you have every right!, but for me , as a spotter who has been there
hundreds of times in the past, you are making it (more) difficult for us at the fence
each time shot's like the 1st one are placed on the net.

I would like to ask the people in question who monitor the forums , to move this discussion to another forum , it distracts from this forum , while i fully understand and 10 out of 10 times comply with the wishes of local authorities when it comes to 'no photography of the infrastructure' I think that in this modern day and age everything is already posted and over on-line so what's the big deal , here ? Can we just move on , showing pictures to all that are interested in Aviation and that's all there is too this.
Just my five cents.
for the first time I agree with Oscar so donn‘t post photos with infraOscar01 wrote:Stefan,
I have been checked by police as well (a lot) at both Ramstein and Spang. I think Ramstein is a bit more relaxing, where as Spang the guys seem to be more frustrated. Also the US police at Spang is looking at both Flugzeugforum and Scramble. They told me (already year and half ago) that they didn't like the infra structure visible on the pictures posted at (at that time) flugzeugforum. They did easily remember picture, date and name of poster.......
What I one day did was just taking pictures of the tails of AMC a/c on the ramp at spang, because I didn't have my notebook with me (so for remembring serials). On 1 picture there was a very small part of one of the buildings visible. He went nuts. When I explained, he understood, but I still had to delete the picture.
So yes, I'm still taking pictures at Ramstein from a/c on the runway (so with Infra), but won't post them.....
