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.

Very nice Jan. Should be worth a trip to the Belgian coast. At what time did you take these pics? Morning?

Today I saw a Columbia Helicopters Vertol 107 fly through the Grimsel Pass in Switzerland. It flew in a northerly direction roughly towards Meiringen. Unfortunately I could not identify it.

HeliSwiss has one since begin this summer, so you probably you did see this one. If I remember correctly it is a N (US) tail number.

Thanks for that info. You are probably right. I saw some pics and the colors on that Swiss machine bear some resemblance with the Columbia colors.

As I write Vertol N6675D is parked at Knokke Heist! So that’s a third one ☝️
