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.

Axalp 2011

Post by planecrazy »

Here some pictures of the air show at Axalp. Normally the Tuesday is a training day but because of some severe flooding around the area of Meiringen, due to terrential rain during the weekend, the air force decided to cancel the event :( on Wednesday and Thursday, so the military personnel could be used in more needed areas.
here a picture of the flooding:

Very nice! Wel done, the hornet popping flares is my favorite.

I thought Axalp was completely cancelled this time, but it seems there was some activity?

Normally the Show is on Wednesday and Thursday, but there are practice runs on Monday and Tuesday. I don't know if there was any activity on monday because of the bad weather in the morning, but saw a flyover of PdS over the lake in the afternoon. I went on Tuesday (luckily) because the weather predictions were very good for Tuesday (and the rest of the week).

They are great! Love number four the most. What a nice aircraft it still is and a great panning.
You could try a bit more selective. It will make the report stronger in my opinion.

Nice pictures. Luckily the choice to go up Axalp on Tuesday turned out to be a good one. That first picture is impressive, where was that taken? I didn't see it that bad around Unterbach.

This is a picture out of one of the newspapers. But this picture was taken in the area of lautersbrunnen.
One of my own pictures i made in the area of aareslucht (other side of meiringen) there the water in the canal was reaching one of the houses.
