Forum rules
 | This 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. |

LUFTWAFFE vs HEER ....... practical joke
I shot these pics last monday (May 14th), the day after the Rotenburger Luftfahrtmesse at Rotenburg/Wuemme Airport (EDXQ).

I have seen that before, but try as I might, I can't remember where and when. ..F-4G_rhino wrote: A Luftwaffe C-160D 50+97 and a HEER (army) CH-53G 84+59, were parked close together at this show.

Very funny. A few years ago at RIAT 'HEER' was changed into 'CHEERS'

It is more memorable when they don't do this, as that one is a regular at RIAT.Koen L wrote:Very funny. A few years ago at RIAT 'HEER' was changed into 'CHEERS'

Re: LUFTWAFFE vs HEER ....... practical joke
It is fun when they do things like that with words like 'HEER', 'ARMY', or what ever. But when they change registrations on a way like that, then it is not so funny anymore.
Which they did at RIAT once with a RAF Wessex XR505 WA - XR605 WA, I remember.

I remember they once did it to a Luftwaffe Phantom at RIAT. It was displayed with a never existed regi.

Re: LUFTWAFFE vs HEER ....... practical joke
I'm pretty sure I've seen a pic of German CH-53's with these exact 'Help' titles in an issue of Air Forces Monthly. They were used for humanitarian relief, somewhere abroad. So, are you sure this is a practical joke, or just an operational application?
