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.

Falcon Autumn at (former) EHVB 16.11.22 (and coastline)

Post by seahawk12 »

As a former EHVB spotter was 16.11.2022 Valkenburg the place to be. Settling in the morning at "oude Broekweg" near the fence in front of former runway 17. The helicopters came in from the north, along the beach of Katwijk and over the dunes straight to "17" , a few pictures

Four apaches, looking for "the enemy"
One (Q24) in a clear blue sky

Around 11:00 hours all soldiers were flown in and "the battle" begun.
Around 13:00 hours the soldiers would be picked up again, so I tried my luck at the end of the boulevard of Katwijk.
Turned out to be a very good choise, because all helicopters used the same route as in the morning, coming from the north along the coast line and turning towards inland at the end of the boulevard of Katwijk, some pictures

It was a very nice exercise so close at home (for me).

Wow! The tourists did some great sightseeing! :-D
I could see some from Leiden, but unfortunately not the Polish.
