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.

Croatian MiG-21s at Zagreb-Pleso

Post by r.e.hendriks »

Hi all,

During my summer holiday I had the opportunity to visit Zagreb-Pleso with my family to see the 'new' Croatian MiG-21s.
Here are some of the shots I took during this visit. A full report on the Croatian MiG-21s, including historical information,
inventory list and many other photo's can be found at my website: http://www.fly-by.nl

Very nice report. I like the 'family' style and still a visit on non-public day. You must have had a wonderful day!

Cheers Evert

Hi all,

Funny thing is that I was spotting on Zagreb-Pleso the morning of the 5th August. I was there in the morning, and the MiG-21 came down at 14.45.. Only the two stored Antonovs were noted. By the way, the scramble airfield guide helped us a lot!
