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.

Bastille Day - Invalides Paris

Post by Bruno »

Yesterday afternoon I was at les Invalides to try to take some pictures of the helicopteres. Challenging condition, with most of the good places "off limit" for the take off, because of dust and wind...But at the end the light was pretty good, and the departures very dynamic 8)

Nice report with some very clean-looking helicopters! The camo on the Gazelle looks somewhat off-standard, or is it just me?

Thanks for sharing!
