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.

Mallorca May 2010

Post by marcel32us »

A weeks holiday with the family to Mallorca, but always a day to spare for spotting. I spent a nice day at Palma airport, with a little extra when I got back in Alcudia.

3. A bit too far away and therefore quite some heathaze, but I like it anyway.

7. Just when I returned in the town we were staying in (Playa de Muro, close to Alcudia), I saw a CL.215 flying overhead. I parked the car and ran to the beach, just in time to see it land. This one was taken just after landing

8. and after floating arounf for a few minutes it took off again.

These last two were quite far away so I had to crop a lot, but I liked the view of this bird landing on the water.

Comments as always welcome.

It was coming down the runway for several hunderds of metres on one wheel before the other two touched. I also have a pic of a DHC.8 doing the same, bur for a shorter distance. I didn't experience the wind as very strong though...

Thanks for the comments!

On which runway/spot have you taken this photos? :wink:
I've been there also but this looks like a different angle as what I've seen.

On below pic I have marked the spot with a red arrow.

For an afternoon (after 3PM) photo session one would have to move to a spot north of the field, but I didn't stay that late (which got me the CL.215 ;-) )
