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.

The blimp is airborne right now. Sailing of the city of Hilversum and the Loosdrechtse Plassen at low altitude.

Could it be she landed again at Hilversum ? Saw her turning around going back in the direction of Hilversum / near the television Tower.

I heard about it and it's really terrible news! Respect for the pilot who brought his passengers safely to the ground.
