Come on. Not everyone is interested in boring taxishots. I am really really glad about that spot close to the runway. There will be some good opportunities for great afterburner actionshots during take off. And I think that most of the photographers prefer actionshots instead of boring taxishots. Keep in mind that it will get hot in the afternoon, so you will get big problems with heat haze when you are shooting with 400mm+ from far distance on the Runway! Please stay at home when you are not satisfied with the provided spot!Photoforce wrote:Dear Don,dverhees wrote:Hi Volkert, I'll make your good suggestion when I get there next weekend.

After my message many colleague photographers gave their reaction to me by private e-mails. The current position for photographers is nog good, not for landing photographers but also not for taxiway photographers. They said to me that if there are no extra opportunities many photographers will cancel their visit. So on behalf of my colleagues I reconstructed the map which was added the the Nato Tiger Meet website. Of course it depends on where is the wind coming from. But during both winds their is a easy solution (see attachment) to fulfill all our wishes. If I compare it with Konya the organization can easily copy to program for Zaragoza. In blue is the taxiway opportunity similar as it was in Konya when the aircraft stopped in front of the photographers.
There is still time for a good solution.
Greetings,
Volkert.

Any fluorescent vest will do. Cheers, DonHans Rolink wrote:I don't think the colour is that important. http://natotigers.org/tiger-news/attent ... day-update simply mentions a fluorescent vest. I would think yellow or orange will do, only the TLP press/spotter day issued blue ones (non fluorescent) would not be acceptable, I think.
