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.

Chania/Souda (LGSA/CHQ) - 2011 MIL

Post by Arno 01 »

I have been working in Chania (Souda Bay) this week and managed these snaps from the aircraft when I departed at Sunrise, not the best quality. I was on the right side of the aircraft, on the otherside is the US part of the Airfield, and in the last few days had been 2 x E3C, 1x E8C, 1x RC135 and a USN EP3 operating from there. Most nations were operating daily, day and night. Visitors over the last few days included RSAF C130, Qatar AF C-17 ( 6 fligths per week).

Wow really nice pics, especcially the Qatar Seakings.
Are those aircraft and helicopters visible from the outside?

Hi Rene,

The Sea Kings are on a pad next to the airport entrance so no problem, the fighters are on the other side and I would imagine you would be able to see them whilst driving round the base, plus all the USAF and USN stuff it is quite a good place to visit.

Regards

Kev
