Your Top 10 of 2011
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. |

Re: Your Top 10 of 2011
The year started with a trip to RAF Mildenhall for an air to air refueling mission with 100th ARW
In March I was fortunate enough to fly with the Portuguese Air Force Academy DHC-1 Chipmunks
The second day in Portugal was spent with Escuadra 101, flying the TB-30 Epsilon.
I was invited to fly with the Slovenian Air Arms Helicopter Squadron during an exercise with the Hungarian Air Force in June. Unfortunately the exercise got cancelled. Cerklje ob Kriki proved to be a good alternative.
Final trip of the year; Bulgaria. Old russian hardware...nice!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year for you all!

Wow Peter,
you have travelled the world in 2011 . My favourite is your Mig-21 shot at Plovdiv. It could set fire to the grass .
Grtz,

Re: Your Top 10 of 2011
Probably one of my most favorite topics each year is this top 10 list of everyone participating. I very much enjoy the variety in aircraft, locations and compositions shown here by fellow aviation enthousiasts. Thanks everyone!
My list, starting in January and working my way down to the end of this year:
1. Shadow61 on January 10 at De Kooy
_IGP35414-A by Ghanzer, on Flickr
2. Took one day off from skiing in the Swiss Alps to visit Meiringen on February 17
_IGP36010-A - 1280px by Ghanzer, on Flickr
3. Tigermeet on May 11
_IGP37397-A - 1280px by Ghanzer, on Flickr
4. MTHR 15 celebrated her 40th anniversary at Rheine-Bentlage on July 01
_IGP38467-A - 1280px by Ghanzer, on Flickr
5. The Thunderbirds performed on several shows in Europe among which was Koksijde on July 06
_IGP38962-A - 1280px by Ghanzer, on Flickr
6. Had some foggy times at Schiphol as well. Kaagbaan in the early morning of July 28
_IGP39344-A - 1280px by Ghanzer, on Flickr
7. Luckily the weather during the Air-2-Air Academy was great
_IGP39922-A - 1280px by Ghanzer, on Flickr
8. And it was not all about Air-2-Air
_IGP40217-A - 1280px by Ghanzer, on Flickr
9. A non standard Schiphol night shot
_IGP43347-A - 1200px by Ghanzer, on Flickr
10. To end where my list started: Lynx 279 at the dummy deck
_IGP45098-A - 1200px by Ghanzer, on Flickr
I tried to create an overview of my 2011 Aviation year and had to make some choices, that's why, for instance, I left both days at Leeuwarden out of this overview. Hope everyone enjoyed my view on 2011 and happy shooting to all for 2012!
Greetz,
Hans.

Re: Your Top 10 of 2011
didn't do that much spotting this year.
highlight for me was my trip to Texas and New Mexico
not in specific order :
preserved F-4s in Texas
32 to choose from.
Ft Worth, F-4D MIG-killer
the most ultimate way to preserve a beautiful aircraft like the F-4 is to keep her flying.
The Collings Foundation does a great job in that.
walking on the ramp at Holloman AFB, Det1 82nd ATRS...... HEAVEN !!!
nice visit to Sheppard AFB
Luxembourg Air Rescue in my backyard.
Pilot had no rush (patient went to hospital by ambulance), so he had time to pose for me....
