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.

I was waiting for 5 hours to see the Gulfstream leave. To bad he took runway 10 and he came high.

1. We amused ourselves with some weekend locals.

2. A very gracious plane it is.

3. This is what I could do best with it.

Hi Jimmy, Ben,

both of you have much patience. I only had a time slot of two hours (12.00 - 14.00). Although I missed this C37 finally leaving it was great talking to you both.

Despite a difficult angle you did a good job!

Grtz,

Edward.

Respect for the both of you! Not knowing the ETD (=long waiting hours) and surface winds from an Easterly direction (=wrong Runway) were enough to convince me to stay at home..

Although it took the 'wrong' runway you both still managed to capture the Gulfstream nicely.
