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.

New fence and Swiss at Wittmund

Post by henkderidder »

Yesterday Hans Drost and I drove over to Wittumd to to try our luck with te Swiss Hornets and the new fence. Like Iwan wrote "photo oportunities are still good" On the 26 site there are a lot of infrastructure and bushes in front of you but is it still possible to take good pics. On the 08 site photo posiblities are great in the afternoon. Thank you Iwan for your good discription.
There were not much phantoms active, (due to holidays?) only 3 flew the regular missions at 800-1200 and 1400hours. also 2 models were scrambled in the moring and 2 in the afternoon.Lucky they were changed so we saw 4 different scramble F-4F. Also 2 departed with 5 tanks, so 9 different F-4's were seen. 2had celibration zapps on their tail. Also a C-160 did some landing efforts. The Swiss were with 4 hornets present. 2 on the platform near te 26 site and 2 in a HAS. According to a well informed local spotter the other 4 will come next monday.
On with the show:

No problems with secrurity, we didn't see them , they were very laid back. Perhaps due to te new fence.

Hi...

Just a little question, how much millimeters do I need at Wittmund? I can go as far as 300 mm in FX or 450 in DX (cropped) format.

Grtz.
