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.

Corfu - Civvie spotter paradise

Post by SilverWingPix »

On october 2nd I suddenly found my self on the Greek Island paradise of Corfu. What a lovely place! Not just the aeroplanes, but the scenery, the atmospher, the people - just a really really nice place. Next time I´ll go for more than a day.

Cafe Royal provides the perfect morning (till noon) spot - I´ll let the images speak for themselves:

Very very very nice pictures.

Have been there last May and it is a wonderfull island.
Spent half a day on the water dam near the airport, very impressing to see the landing and departing aircrafts.

Thanks for sharing :respect: .

Brilliant set! I was there last year and the good thing about this place is that the Greek AF visits the place several times a week. Managed to capture a Hercules and a C-27 (the last one was parked next to our Transavia B737 on departure 8) )
