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.

Luxembourg 21-9-2012 AWACS incident

Post by JetStar2 »

LX-N90455 got some serious engine trouble during a touch&go and was forced to make a full stop at Luxembourg/Findel this afternoon.

The airport was closed for almost 1 hour to clean the runway of engine parts.

some pics, not much to see except for some oil on the rh outboard engine:

Maybe a reason to consider exchanging these geriatric TF33's for fuel efficient and silent F108's?

I don't see the relation? Different aircraft, different story?
