I have edited the title into a topic of both days since the 8th was a rehearsal day. Feel free to add more from on-base Dutchphantom. I am back in Mainland China again and had some time to edit a few from the Saturday taken outside of the airbase. 8. http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o262/pterlouw/...

Nice!! But where is the sun? Maybe you can begin a seperate topic of the airshow? I will add on some of the flying bits from outside the airbase.

Last Thursday I visited the Taiwan Air Force Museum (ROC) located next to the main entrance of Gangshan Airbase, home of the Air Force Academy. It is a nice museum with a nice selection of aircraft flown by the Taiwan Air Force and very nice positined. Here some pics: 1. nice line up http://i122.pho...

Yeah, I would also mistake white Dutch people for Chinese... ;) :) exactly what I told the Officer in charge. But considering the status between Taiwan and China I can understand why they exclude all foreigners and not only the Chinese. There was some talk about pre-registering for foreigners but e...

Decided to go to Tainan instead but soon found out they stopped early because of the airshow tomorr...

Today I ended up at Gangshan Airbase, home of the Air Force Academy and they were flying pretty good. I saw all the types of aircraft stationed here: the T-34C basic trainer and the AT-3 advanced trainer. Also coming in was a Beech 1900 of the Airlift Training Group, a detachment of Sungshang. 1. ht...

Sounds great, nice spot indead! Wasn't aware you are able to stand there. No problems with shadowing/following agents or police officers? They can be a real pain in the ***... ;) Have been mistaking them for spotters with their camera's... :picture: No problems at all. Today I visited Gangshan and ...

Wow, awesome shots! From where did you make these shots, have you been standing on the cemetery or anywhere else? These are taken on the West side of the airbase between some farmer grounds. I was standing there with some 20 local spotters and had a great time. It is more to the middle of the runwa...
