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.

Returning from Volkel I decide to drive to Grave where "Falcon prepare" exercise was held. Catched two Chinooks, here is the D-666 in a typical Dutch landscape:

That photographer on the dyke is sure to have some nice shots. Too bad the sun was gone at the critical moments.....

Yes near the river. Picture was taken from the other side, across the river, the LZ was located directly behind the dyke. The cargo attached to the slings is already below the dyke.

The quality of milk of the cows in the shot may be a bit different the next days: the whole herd was a stampede when the two Chinooks approached the LZ. :lol:
