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.

Araxos, Greece, Farewell Corsair Spotter's Day

Post by Hans Rolink »

A good one organised by the Greeks! Many Corsairs to be seen, three out of some seven still airworthy flew. Apart from the SLUFs, some other things could be seen as well. Tomorrow back for some more.

It was a great spottersday and Pharewell day at Araxos.
I photograped 64 (!) different A-7's in both good and terrible state.
Here are some pictures of both days
