I always look with much pleasure at the pictures. SOme are very familiar, some you know you missed and also a lot of new ones. I like it :) Here are a couple more from the 1987 year. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/pterlouw/Image170001.jpg http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/pterlouw/Ima...

lets put the topic on top again with some more pictures

a couple more:

Ik heb twee VR lenzen, de 18-200 en 70-300, en ik heb geen enkel probleem met de VR. Hij staat altijd aan en de plaatjes zijn gewoon scherp. Maar let wel: het is een hulpmiddel en geen garantie voor scherpe platen. Bovendien duurt het een kleine seconde na het indrukken van de ontspanknop voor de VR...

and a few more pics from this big museum. For getting to the museum the taxi is the easiest way of reaching the museum. Don't mention the name Datangshan because this is the name of the local mountain and nobody knows this one. Just go by taxi to the local village of Xiaotangshan and on the main rou...

and a few more. By the way. Does anybody know what this is? It has faded US roundels and somehow the airplane looks familiar but I have no clue on the type. It was situated on the far North side of the museum in the "dump" aerea. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/pterlouw/DSC_3080000...

This summer I went to China again and this time visited the PLAAF Aviation Museum of Datangshan. Some aircraft are in bad shape and covered with plants but still a impressive collection of older PLAAF aircraft. Here is a small impression: http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/pterlouw/DSC_30010001...
