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.

Spangdahlem 22-08-18

Post by GerritsFinest »

This day rwy 23 was in use, temp around 30 degr... fortunately up to 1600 lt shots could be taken on the east side of the field in the shade of the trees. Morning waves were busy with 9 different Raptors and 12 different F16's. No visitors except fot the C12 40157 this time who had to kill some time at this base... In the afternoon is was very quiet till only one F22 took off around 1515 lt for an appointment with a ETNN Eufi near Buchel (fotoflight?) The silence was broken at 1615lt when 5 Raptors took off, so move to the other side because of the sun. They came in just after 17 oclock when the nation anthems of Germany followed by the US were reverberating over the base loudspeakers...

Because 'GerritsFinest' is mentioning the chapel I guess the coordinates must be 49.960114, 6.683922.

Let me know if I'm mistaken...

No your not mistaken we always stay as close as possible to the field. Parking at the chapel then walking trough the small forrest then to the right, up hill towards the fence.

Ciao,
Marco
