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.

Yesterday at Reims/Mourmelon was the annual PCTAM exercise (previously named PCAT and EMS).
Clouds spoiled the show in the afternoon.
All a/c flew from St Dizier, check http://www.scramble.nl/forum/viewtopic.php?t=45395" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; for participants.
Choppers and tanks in action were nice...

It's a DRAC, portable UAV for ground forces

Yes I know, it was very, very dusty in France.
Each time a set of tanks or choppers passed by, a lot of sand/dust covered us (and the cameras) :(
Just like the Transall is showing while landing on the grass/sand strip....

Nice exercise! Wish they did something of this scale in Holland where you can see the action from a distance
