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.

Ah, finally a shot of this bird without titles.
I'm surprised to see that the "MAC" titles weren't removed.
Still, it looks great. Too bad it left in the fog.

I think they went to VQQ (or NZC, both the same). That is Jacksonville as well, only a different airport.
Cheers,

For your information,

Saw PH-MCM in basic MP colors and also without titles on 22nov11 @ JAX (Jacksonville/FL) when arriving there at 2.45pm...she left at around 3pm for an unknown destination (was not mentioned at the departure gate, unfortunately)...

Maybe MCL 'did' the same routing earlier that week :?:

Yup, all 3 of them flew AMS-JAX-VQQ. Landing at JAX was for customs/immigration reasons.

MP crew.

MCI will continue to VCV to be scrapped after all. The other two are destined for a second life.
