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.

Nice catches!

I really was surprised about the Czech Casa.
Look just like the An-26s.

Nice to see the Czechs holding on to green/grey/grey camouflage on their C.295's!

Looking forward to see A.400M entering service, nice picture-filling wide-body! Too bad on the colors, but who knows what future color-trends will bring, down the road.

Regards,

Stephan

I accept all the opinions the plane is not mine. Thank you.
The spots on the sensor is because I have to clean it.Thank you too.

In few days more photos , the first flight of 400 is the next week and may be nocturnal flight.

Same here, I cant wait to see it flying around. A fusion of a Herc and a C-17. Very cool.

That is one big vertical tail plane! Looks seriously out of place on a propjet... Anyway, interesting that two engines are counter-rotating, nice design touch.
