 | This 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 BK117 is indeed smaller than an Mi-6 but on the other hand it is much larger than a C-160 with far fewer wheels and both have much better VTOL capabilities. An C-160 however is much smaller than an An-22 which were seen at Stendal quite often contrary to Mi-6' which were not based at Stendal..

Gtz, Paul
The best glider club in Holland had it's summercamp there, that is the reasonFunny to see that you were at Stendal. I would expect minimal flying activities there, yet you did go there with your camera. Was there much flying going on, or did you just get lucky. ?
Looks like a chaff/flare dispenser to me.aurora wrote:On 2 pics the C1-60 has a housing om top, what is that?
On 1 pic the C-160 does not have this fairing
Thanks Iwan! There where actually two C-160's doing some touch and go's.I was there for two weeks with our gliding club. But we where indeed lucky to see these aircraft that close. There is a lot of VFR/general aviation traffic when the weather is good enough. Trauma helicopters are also common visitors at Stendal.Iwan Bogels wrote:Hi Vincent,
I like your first shot. The tree in the background makes it even more attractive than just a clean C-160.
