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.

Some holiday pictures from our last vacation in Africa. First one is our ride from Johannesburg to Victoria Falls:

Behind this A-319 was a classic standing:

the next day we took a chopper over the falls with this one:

Another Jetranger was baking in the sun;

At Kasane, Botswana were different light aircraft present to fly into Chobe N.P. or the Okavango Delta:

Also an AS350 Ecureuil OF4 was present. The quality is not that good: distance and a planewindow ;-(

This was our plane to Khwai River airstip:

And a few days later we took off with this Ce208 from Khwai River Airstrip to Maun:

No, we didn't :( , the guides/drivers who picks up the passangers from the airstrip do that. They drive 10 minutes before a arrival along the runway.
