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.

Just a day at Reims.

Post by KING TRIGGER »

a short impression;

Image

as the weather forecast suggested good weather for this field ,i thought let pay it a visit;

Image

i noticed that the canopies (forward) are sometimes "swapped|"with the "2-seaters".
As you can see in the next picture, nose-cone's as well.

Image

some short showers arrived in the afthernoon
Image

Flight activity was resonable with about 6 different a/c and a total of 9 flight ( mostly in pairs)
(note canopies)

Nice pictures!


Is there also a civil part at the airport?
(maybe I'm wrong but I expect the production line there of the Cessna-Reims too!)
Correct em when I'm wrong!

Reims-Cessna production - and sometimes maintenance - has been at Reims-Prunay for ages

Evert,

I like photo 3. Where exactly did you take it (inside/outside) and with how many mm?
Thanks in advance.

Reims does have a civillian side, however the terminal has been closed for some time, the "gate"of the civil airport is now military.i did see a cessna type aircraft, and falcon .

All images taken at the same spot;
drive towards the (civil) airport,and do not turn left towards it, instread; follow the road ( dead end) and park your car just in front of the farmhouse( that is really important!!)
walk towards the fence ( just 300 mtrs) its full of holes, personally i use a stepladder.

from here these shots were taken,taxiway is very close, takeoff/ landing 500+mm

cheers
