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.

Thracian Eagle 2015, Graf Ignatievo Bulgaria [UPDATED!!!!]

Post by r.e.hendriks »

Hi all,

Last week I had the opportunity to visit the Bulgarian Airbase Graf Ignatievo during the Thracian Eagle exercise.
Here is a sneak preview. I will post some more later, and of course a full report will be published on the website.

Very nice Rob!

I didn't know that "Bayou Militia" was the political correct version of the infamous "Coonass Militia". :?

Hi all,

Last weeks I've been busy sorting out all the photos I took during a visit at 3rd AB Graf Ignatievo, Bulgaria.
During the visit we were able to take shots of Bulgarian MiG-21s, MiG-29s and Su-25s, and USAF JZ-coded F-15s.

A full report on this visit with more than 150 shots can now be found at my website: http://www.fly-by.nl

The MiG-21 was our main goal. But unfortunately they didn't make it through overhaul in time.
They had been in overhaul for several weeks, and only a week after our visit the first Fishbed took the the sky again.

So simply bad luck! :(

Best regards Rob.
