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.

Namibian delights [CIV+ 1 MIL]

Post by PH-BRAD »

Hello,

I spent my time in Namibia this summer, besides lots of animals this were some highlights I've seen:

1. Shitty quality but what an aircraft! Taken at Walvis Bay (signs on the fence said "NO PHOTOGRAPHING")
Image

The following pictures are all taken at Windhoek Eros Airport from 14-16th of August.

2. I walked to the airport to look if there was something to see. Many black expensive cars then turned up and I saw the tail of V5-GON. Went back to the hotel to capture it in departure, unfortunatly it rotated quite late.
Image
3. Nice DHL Caravan
Image
4. Seen this one everywhere in Namibia, but this is the only proper picture I've got
Image
5. Cessna 210, plenty of those in Namibia
Image
6. Westair's Embraer 145
Image
7. The highlight civilwise was this good ol' Commander
Image
8. Gotta love Grand Caravans
Image
9. Nice Beechjet, also operated by Westair
Image
10. THE highlight aviationwise, a Namibian Air Force Chetak. My first Namibian AF aircraft although I've visted the country for four times.

Mvg,

Hi,

Wow an U2 :shock:
Nice helo!

I stayed at the Safari Hotel. Pics 2, 3, 4, 8 and 9 are taken from its pool. Picture 7 is taken from the Safari Court Hotel from I think the second highest level on the stairs.
