Forum rules
This 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.
Hi Wouter,
the reason for all that transport was the exercise REFORGER (REturn of FORces to GERmany). This was during the cold war an annual exercise to train the NATO forces to deploy to Germany in case of a conflict with the Russians.
In the centre of the last photo you can see a C-130 prop. I remember that one of Hercs got damaged by ice, and that the blades were bent. I was there that day as well (oh man, it was cold) and have a photo of this C-130 with the damaged prop still on. I will look it up next weekend.
Some positives scanned of 1980 /Valkenburg, landing/departure was at the short runway at that time.
My 1st and last operational (sorry,not interested in wrecks and ex) Danish Dak, and a Neptune for the bonus.
Pieter
