Your best THREE pictures of 2012.

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.

A top 10 is already difficult, let alone a top 3. Gave it a try anyway, although it doesn't do justice to several other shots I made this year... :wink:

1. October 26, Amsterdam Airport Schiphol - Martinair Cargo MD-11 about to be pulled out of the hangar

Here are 3 of mine:

At Rotterdam, in front of the Eramus bridge:

Image

IMHO, much better looking than our low-viz (Belgian Air Force) NH-90...


At Wittmund, in the rain (as with the majority of my photo's this year):

Image


And since the Wittmund F-4F Phantom II's are in their final 6 months of operation, just another one, seen here during a tactical break:

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Phabulous 2013!
