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.

Hi,

An afternoon shot of one of the newest USAF C-17As, 09-9206 from 437thAW Charleston. It's a surprising and rare visitor for Rotterdam.

I just happened to pass the airfield yesterday on my way back home when I caught a glimpse of the C17. Passing 4 lanes in quite heavy traffic to get to the exit is quite the challenge I can tell you. Luckily though they just started taxiing out so I was able to drive alongside, get my camera ready and jump out at the last available parking. Unfortunately there's a fence, but it's not really noticeable in the pictures. Problem with posting last of course is that most angles have been covered allready. Not just covered, in this case it will be near impossible to top Nick's excellent night frame. Still, I'm kind of pleased with my backlit shot so even though a day has passed allready here's my entry.
