Today we've made a flight above reggions Noord-Brabant and Zeeland, the Netherlands, with a RNlAF Fokker 50, serial U-05. Ofcourse we've made pictures, eventhough this was very hard considering the shaking airplane, the heatwaves from the turboprops and the dirty windows. De pics turned out to be only air to ground, because apperantly no planes were nearby in the air to give us the time for a little A2A-photography. Nevertheless, the flight was highly appreciated, thank you RNlAF and Eindhoven AFB!!
Some impressions:
It started well, this moist drew some attention. The prop was shutdown to check. After the checking, it turned out to be water instead of motoroil or something. All fine, safety first
Via Tilburg to Gilze Rijen, find the Chinook
Then off to region Zeeland.

Bridge over Haringvliet:
Back via Heusden:
Den Bosch, Capitalbuilding of region Noord-Brabant (my workingplace):
Freeway A2 Eindhoven, with propblur:
and back on the tarmac we were allowed to photograph the present planes, including our ride:

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. |

That moist could also have been fuel. This tube is a venturi and through the airstream extracts the drain fuel out of the collector tank. This little tank can be full after a while of doing nothing for the engine..
But it isn't a bad or dangerous thing..
