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.

After BA practice everyone was kicked off the storage area. However, I could see everything that was using the same runway flying by.
Not good for pictures (too far).

Oz, I went to a BA practice about 18 months ago, which was at both around 0900 and 1300 on that day - the USN and USAF trainers were flying. The USAF T1s had already gone out earlier that morning and came back after the first practice, then the USN and USAF T6s took off and came back before the second BA. The USN T45s did not fly.

You get good views of the runways and photos from the museum storage area, but they don't let you stay there long. I was at the lighthouse, which gives decent views of the USN area and the runways, but heat haze is the main challenge
