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.

Meiringen 02-04-2008

Post by Wim »

Hello,

Here are my pictures from Meiringen that I took on 2 April. The weather was not so good as the day before in Payerne. It rained heavy untill noon and it was freezing cold. We were not more at the Swiss plateau, but in the alps and we could easily feel that.

We were in a hotel almost on the base. We were in the highest chambers and the take offs from the first wave of the day we took from our hotel rooms :lol: The taxiway was about 100m from our hotel, the runway 150m. This is just crazy.

Meiringen AB is a spottersparadise. No fences, many spottersplaces, mountains in the background, there is even a visitors terras. After asking the guards what we could expect that day of flying activity our day could start. There was a WK with hornets, so they flew from the cavernes and crossed the road to go to the runway. In the afternoon there was a swap of aircraft with Payerne.

This picture we took out of our hotel: big thumb

and on this picture you can see our hotel :lol:

You are wright, Meiringen is one of the best places to take pictures. It doesn’t matter winter or summer time.
