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.

My name is not Eddy, but all pictures are taken from the civil active part of the field...the museum is at the other site of the airport.

To be honest I do not know where the museum is anymore, the platform where it used to be is almost empty now, except for a caravelle and ariane rocket.
There are a lot of museum aircraft on the other side of the field that used to be the storage area, used during the show.
Is this where the museum is now permanently?

The pictures of the herc and 3 business jets are taken from the terrace of the old terminal building (this is not a normally accesable place
but a large ladder early in the morning does wonders). The other are on the platform in front of the main hangars along the europa boulevard.

Hercs are by the way not uncommon in LBG, I saw this lot last august 1st

actually some of them yes, because those stupid people at airliners will not accept pictures where some lamppoles are not straigh where others are.
So somethimes a little manipulating will help.
