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.

After having gone up the Axalp twice in a row, we decided to have a look at Sion where the F-5's flew from when delivering their share of lead at the targets. It was p*ssing rain, but I don't think it detracted a lot from the images.

Strangely, we were sent off at the site with the poled Hunter!

Thanks for the information......you could be right about them not turning up at Axalp as i'm sure i only counted 8! However, the rain was so hard on top of the 'hill' then im not sure anyone took anf photographs.

Thanks again

Ian
