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.

Visiting Quart Festival Kristiansand Norway

Post by Slash_fan »

Hello
I went to Kristiansand with my father 27th of June to see my Guitar Hero Slash playing a once in a lifetime gig at the Quart Festival.
We left at saturday to arrive at kristiansand sunday morning, around 7AM. We went to Hamresanden Camping wich lies a bit north east of Kristiansand.
When we where settled at the campingside we discovered that the camping lies really close to Kristiansand airport Kjevik. I knew it was not a military airfield
so i was quite surprised when we saw a RNoAF Hercules make a Touch & Go... :shock:
so i grabbed my camera and waited for it to return. It is a bit strange because this Hecules, with number 5607, makes around 4 Touch & Go's everyday...(ofcourse not in weekends)
so i had some opurtunities but still only managed to make 3 good shot because i cant seem to get the photo sharp when working with shutter for the rotorblur :cry:
But still managed to make some good shot, not all military tho

this one flew over 2 times, but only 1 day

and here is the famous 5607

Kristiansand houses the RNorAF technical school. Next to some Norwegian AF aircraft it also has at least one former USAF F-16A for training purposes.
Kind Regards,
