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.

Thank you.
Spot #1 (the soccer field) is perfect for spotters to take pictures if you follow a few rules : a) no ladder fence action b) scanner out of sight c) stick to the soccer field perimeter d) don't shoot the base infrastructure. The gendarmerie might show up, check IDs and leave. The locals have a tacit agreement with the gendarmes and all spotters are tolerated as long as no one abuses the rules. Spot #1 is at its best in the afternoon/evening light. Tip : there is an old trailer used as tribune along the soccer field; standing there enables Rafale landing shots. Overall a pretty good spot to hang out !

For fun : I mixed a moon shot with a take-off shot, both taken around 15.00 CET (400 mm is even too short for the takeoffs !):
