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.

#17 Really cool to see a airplane pasing by on 15 meters.

Image

#25
Image

#25 Copa Airlines just higher than the United 737.
Image

#26 KLM with 747 and by chance carrying a friend of mine on his way to Curacao.
Image

#27 Really magnificant sight to see such an giant this way.
Image

#28
Image

#29 The TUI 787 was late the previous time so this was a nice catch.

#31
Image

#32 From the other side of the window the view looks like this.
Image

Nice set!

I like #27 a lot, as I often forget how impressive the B747 actually is. This one says it all.
