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.

Swedish Navy A.109 at Ostend 10/04/2008

Post by Wim »

Hello,

Yesterday (09/04/2008) the second Swedish Navy A.109 landed at Ostend during it deliveryflight. It was the 15033. I had the nightshift and made some nightshots of this great chopper.

The airforce A.109's had the splintercamo. According to the crew these are assigned to the Navy. All the airforce A.109's are delivered to Sweden

Excellent night shots there! I really love your 6th picture with that morning light :o

And btw: indeed the army choppers (12x) have camo and the navy versions (8x) have this grey scheme, though they are all assigned to the main helicopterwing at Linköping-Malmen, so thats the reason for those titles.

I'd rather depict atmosphere and the 'heat of the moment' making a catchy photo than to reflect the real situation and real colours showing a boring photo.

Nice shots Wim :shock:
This Agusta Hkp 15B came from Deauville airport (LFRG) where they eat at 14h00 ;)
Don't know where he came from before.

I saw another one the last week on thursday morning (2008.04.03) over my house, but didn't see the markings, but it was clearly a grey Agusta 109.
