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: Croatian Fishbeds still strong
Great shots, thanks! I still need to catch one (or more!) of those before they retire....
By the looks of the shots, were they taken outside the base? And if so, no problems with security?

Hi Patrick! I'm Ivan, spotter from Zagreb ...
According angles under which Mig's are photographed i can say that the photos was taken from the visitors terrace where you can enter without problems and photograph planes during takeoffs and landings. On the other side, taking pictures "from the fence" can be problematic if it's done without written permission from airport's security service.
Regarding retirement of Croatian Mig's, it's almost for sure that Croatia will keep them in service at least for few more years because our DoD is in process of choosing best bidder for overhaul of those fighters.

Hi Ivan,
Thanks for the information! And the fact that they will keep on flying for a few years gives me some time to visit Zagreb in time
